Gomez and Morticia

Morticia shed yesterday and looks unreal so figured I'd update. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ad88d67938.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a6e73dd0fc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9bd0c8978c.jpg

Beautiful...love the beaded look (scales?) going down the spine. Very cool.

The colors are gorgeous but I'll be honest...I'm a lover of all rat snakes, but as nature designed, WITH scales. I personally consider this [without scales]
to be a defect which I'd not support by buying (which encourages more breeding). Their bodies are so vulnerable without scales...while I read your posts
(& dakski's) with interest, I'm honestly just not "there" with either of you. It's freakish to me...like selecting dogs without ears or something. Sorry...this
is not intended as a 'bash', just another opinion. I'll take mine with scales, thanks. (And comparing these to dog breeds for justification isn't much help,
as that's a whole can of worms in & of itself...just because you can, doesn't mean you should...IMO.)

"unreal" is the apprioritate word. [emoji2956] absolutely stunning!

What an amazing colour

I'm not sure how this would have any other constructive purpose other than to bash them. I respect that they aren't for everyone but there are plenty of other posts that I just skip over because it's a species or morph that I find to be "meh" but don't feel the need to go out of my way to tell the owner I don't like them or that they shouldn't exist without real reasoning. If their were legit health concerns that I had witnessed even beyond my initial concerns already discussed than I would agree with you but the fact is they simply aren't there. Being more vulnerable is not a concern when they're in a totally controlled environment that really doesn't even need any modifications beyond feeding ft. For a dog comparison, it's like complaining that most breeds have been altered so much they can't hunt their own food anymore. They don't need to be able to hunt. If you know something about them that I don't already know then I'd be more than happy to hear you out but otherwise I'll enjoy my collection and you can enjoy yours :)

The only reason I offered my opinion is because this forum reaches many readers who may be influenced by what they see here. This is after all a forum for
discussing current trends. I'm sorry that you took offense but my comment was only intended for balance on a controversial issue...I think you have to expect
that, just as I've been trying my best to see them from your viewpoint.

Yes I understand that which is why I replied at all. You can have your opinion but you did not offer any kind of additional facts or personal experience about them to help a future owner or someone reading up on them beyond what you just assume of their quality of life.
