I’ll start out by saying, I love the bamboo morph. I think the reason that not as many breeders are working with it is the same reason why I as a breeder have chose not to include it in my projects, there just isn’t many ways to improve it if any. The original bamboo is what I think looks best. I have not seen any combos that I’ve actually liked better than the original so that makes it hard to have goals as a breeder with a gene that is difficult to improve with the addition of more genes. I’ve talked with a few local breeders when I was first looking into bamboo and they basically chose not to work with it for the same reason but they were a little more harsh about what they thought about what the gene does to other genes. But they do have a point, the bamboo gene has a strong influence in combos and so they all look similar to the original bamboo but not near as nice. So if you were looking for a pet snake, I think the bamboo is a great choice, it’s beautiful and nothing else looks like it. It may not be the best choice as a breeder though as a lot of the combos don’t add much interest and most become less visually pleasing at least imo. Bright and flashy seems to pull a lot more interest and although the bamboo has an amazing pattern, it is not bright and flashy and only gets duller with the addition of more genes.

I absolutely love Bamboo, and am so excited to work with it. I managed to snag a Bamboo girl for a steal at my local show this weekend, I absolutely love what it does in most combos.
Absolutely beautiful animals being posted in this thread, definitely gives some solid motivation for some future projects!

Re: Why Is The Bamboo Morph Not Popular?
Since this thread has been bumped I'll share my change of heart. I decided to add bamboo to my desert ghost project, if there is one morph that could undoubtedly improve bamboo, it's desert ghost. It will keep it's incredible pattern and color but just brighten it and increase its contrast. I can not wait to see what it looks like! Here's my bamboo 100% het desert ghost girl.

I can't wait to see what you get! I agree that a combo of DG and bamboo will make some killer babies! Good luck! DG is such an underrated morph IMO

Re: Why Is The Bamboo Morph Not Popular?
I'm just doing a Bamboo Enchi x Pastel Calico pairing this year. I am thinking of holding back a female or two to eventually work into my Ultramel projects.
