Which morph looses its appeal when it grows?
I think spiders look like they do. They are so much better looking in the early stages.
Re: Which morph looses its appeal when it grows?
id have to agree on the spiders... i love them when theyre young, but as they mature, they do get less VISUALLY attractive.
but i still love them. because they can make some of the best morphs out there.
Re: Which morph looses its appeal when it grows?
My vote goes to axanthics. They're SO f-ing GORGEOUS as babies and then most tend to brown out. I cant see spending that much money for a black and white snake, only to have it brown out... T'is a shame. lol
Re: Which morph looses its appeal when it grows?
I disagree with the spiders. I think their pattern looks more reduced and bellies more white as they get older.
Pastels are a great morph but definitely look brighter as babies than adults. Either way they are all beautiful to me. Just send me your morph adults when you think they have lost their beauty.

Hmmm... axanthics, some pastels, lemon blasts pop in my head at first.

Why stop there? I'll take any snake (within reason) you think has "lost it's beauty".
Re: Which morph looses its appeal when it grows?
I really don't think any morph looses its appeal.
Re: Which morph looses its appeal when it grows?
I love the adult morphs just as much as hatchling.... but most ppl find hatchlings of nearly every morph to be more dramatic in appearance.

agree 100%. Id have to say SOME(not all) pastels too.
Re: Which morph looses its appeal when it grows?
I think the older spiders look better...from what I saw at the reptile show and the pics in some spider thread here on the forum.
I would have to say Axanthics, Albinos (Some), Sables, Granites (Some) and Low quality Pastels.
Re: Which morph looses its appeal when it grows?
Just food for thought - there are many adult morphs sitting in various breeders' racks that never get their picture posted online or brought to shows.
I've seen some HOT 2000+ gram female pastels, hypos, granites, etc, and anyone who says that these snakes don't look good as adults, I'd question how many of those they'd actually seen in person at all.....beauty is in always in the eye of the beholder, though...
Re: Which morph looses its appeal when it grows?
All the adult axanthics I've seen so far, I didn't care for. A lot of them looked close to a normal. Some pastels brown out a LOT, which is disappointing to the eye as well. I don't know if some bumblebees brown out too, or what that would look like.
I like the adult spiders I've seen too. I think my Sam look great as a adult.
Put me on the list for those unwanted adult morphs!! LOL. I'd snap them up too. Especially female pastels!!
