    Pieds...ASTOUNDINGLY overrated.

    I've said it before and just feel like saying it again...God, do I hate Pieds.

    I cannot understand how people that LOATHE snakes will say "Ooh, I like that one!" when they see one of these magical Clorox Balls. I don't get why they're the most coveted snake in the world, when the gene by itself looks like a Ball Python that got puked on, and the combos all look EXACTLY the same with a different colored headspot. I basically ignore anything that is Pied related because I know I'll just once again be befuddled at their ridiculous popularity. And just as a disclaimer, no I'm not hating because I secretly want one so bad. I'm hating because they're butt-ugly. I will never let one of those little defective mutants anywhere near my collection.

    Just sayin'.

    Watch what You writing mister if You dont wanna be crucified

    Don't worry I'm just Kidding...

    Everybody have right to his/her own opinion... I like Pied Balls... but not because of white... but because of that crazy pattern they have...

    The best Pied for me is a lowest white possible... like some ring in the middle of the body and white tip of tail

    If i want White snake..... Lucys and Ivories all the way !!!

    As strong negative feelings to certain morph... switch word pied to albino in Your post and that's exactly how I feel about albino morphs

    Crucifixion is fun.

    And I actually don't like Albinos either. I don't literally hate them the way I do Pieds, but they've just never caught my eye. And most of their combos end up looking like a cross between a banana and a turd.

    They're one of my favourite morphs.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Reach for the stars, and if you don't grab them at least you'll fall on top of the world.

    I wonder if everyone has a certain morph that they feel that way about...could be an interesting thread...I have the same sentiments towards albinos, and pieds both, I just can't comprehend the price they go for (pieds more so than albinos) I mean, there is no secret these days, and its not like there are none on the market...

    Re: Pieds...ASTOUNDINGLY overrated.

    I just happen to love pieds and albinos. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't think pinstripes are all that astounding but that is just my opinion.

    Re: Pieds...ASTOUNDINGLY overrated.

    I feel the same way about Justin Bieber. There are a few morphs that I don't care for. Sadly though some of the morphs that I like have to have some of what I don't like to make them. Spotnose is a normal looking snake with a weird head pattern to me. But what is does to morphs is incredible. I have yet to get one but it is on my list of things to get. The same goes with yellowbellies. But i want an ivory and I like what they do when combined with other morphs. I do like pieds and albino's but that is just because when I was a young they were coming out in the market and they were the reason I got into snakes.
    Too many snakes to list. Ball pythons, Gtp's and Boa's. It easier to say it that way.
