Single genes are "boring"...

all reptiles are fun, never boring. unless you lose your love for them...

Single gene snakes are boring...:rofl:
You can't make those hot combo's without hot single gene snakes in the first place

I produce some of those neat double and triple gene combo's but there's just something special about a smokin hot single gene snakes.

Just a boring old yellowbelly...:P

Fair enough.

I meant more to say that why pick up an enchi, when you can pick up an enchi lesser.

And then bred the enchi lesser to a bumblebee instead of just a pastel.

The more genes, the more possibilities.

I do have a male lesser (single gene and awesome), but at this stage, I would not consider just a female lesser to pair him with. Hence I picked up a Pastel Majove.

Because not everyone can afford a $2000 enchi lesser, but lots of people can afford a quality enchi male and a lesser female to breed to when it grows up.

Exactly x2!
I love super cinnies and cinny combos but didnt have $1k to spend on a super cinny. So instead i bought a pair of cinnies to make my own. I'll also probably still produce just cinnies for awhile bc i love the morph. Holdback the nicest looking examples and then breed them to continue producing nice cinnies and super cinnies!

Your plain old yb is awesome looking by the way!

Those guys pulled out their wallets and paid tens of thousands of dollars for them from Africa. ;)

I was not bored when I saw this over the weekend. Sadly, it is only a single gene since it was a pied X pied pairing.

Haha this is a pretty good post.

However, I love my enchis! LOL. I've got 3 snakes with enchi in 'em. I've got a female enchi which I believe is extremely important to have! Any enchi combo MALE I produce will go straight to her once she's able to produce eggs :bow:!! I plan on throwing different ones just to get a "who's your daddy" super enchi clutch *drool*!!!

I've also got an enchi het pied male which is a complete SMOKER. AND they look nicer as adults! I also have an enchi lesser male (cost was split for my bday :D). I love him to death.. He's close to being my pride n joy :gj:. When I any of them out, I really enjoy looking at all the gold in my enchi girl.. For the enchi lesser male, just about everything is fantastic about him. His colors, his pattern, and his mean attitude :P!


Another single gene that I find amazing is the spider! It was my first morph! It's a male, and I have no plans to breed him, but I made sure I can have some spider in my future with my killerbee :gj:!!

I understand your point of view though. Remember where those beautiful morphs that you're seeing came from though. They all started with a "boring" base morph :gj:. I don't mind having a pinstripe, spider, enchi, or a calico. They all look completely different from each other and their colors are so different when placed next to each other :gj:.

Lastly, of course CO$T plays a huge role in what people have in their collections. As stated above, some people can afford the expensive combo morphs. Others will settle for the base morphs in hopes of producing some of their favorites :gj:. These options are what make snake breeding fun for me. Everyone can do their own thing :gj:.
