    Champagne question
    I'm debating on what morph I want to add to the collection next and I'm really leaning toward champagne right now. I know that the champ gene pretty much visually dominates any other morph they're combined with, so I want to make sure that I'm starting with one of the nicest examples I can find. My question is, what do people generally look for in a champagne in terms of pattern and color? I've seen pics of champs that vary from having pretty much no pattern at all, to some that have a lot of spots down the back. I've also seen champs range in color from almost pinstripe color to almost white. Is there a commonly accepted "highest quality example" of the morph?

    I already have one specific one that I've been looking at, but I wanted to get some feedback on this before I commit.

    I like a lot of pattern and a real orangey like peachy color.

    They vary so much for animal to animal I don't think there is a set standard of what a top notch Champagne should look like. Like Pieds and other morphs who's trait varies wildly it all comes down to what you like in a Champagne.

    Thanks Ed. That's kinda what I was thinking myself, but I wanted to check with some others who have been into champs for a while.

    I used to like the ones that just had the pattern down their spine, the circles that look like bubbles. Now, after hatching a variety of them I really like the heavily patterned ones. But, it really comes down to personal choice.

    Payment sent tonight on this awesome guy! Credit for the pic and for producing this champ goes to Dave Green. (For some reason it's being rotated when I preview the post...)

    He should be able to ship next week. I can't wait to actually get him in my hands! He's the first snake I've ever had shipped, so the waiting and anticipation is new for me. Super stoked right now... :D:D:D

    Female enchi is going to be next up on my list I think. I just haven't found the right one yet.

    Have you asked Freakie_frog yet? His enchis are HOT! He may be able to help you out. Sweet looking champ you have coming too! I love champs by themselves and only a few of the morphs they make but I cant wait to get one in the collection!
