    First let me say I think that the BP that occurs naturally is great just the way it is.

    Second, I know squat about BP morphs & also wonder if current appearances will change as they mature? And no clue on prices either...

    Of this group, I like #5 the best, but all are interesting, and yes, I do think the market is fickle, ie. our eyes typically crave the new & unfamiliar, so once you produce
    a lot of whatever the current popular choice is, you can bet that's going to change sometime down the road. Just the nature of the beast. (<the human 'beast' that is)

    They all change. Some for the better some for the worse. Many darken as they get older and the color pops less. Some lighten. Lavender Albinos improve (unless they are spider or pin).

    I agree about the "new" thing, but there are always certain ones that kind of stand the test of time. People are always going to like Pied(except me), Albinos, Clowns and white snakes to name a few.

    There are others that seem faddish to me, like GHI. Just makes mostly ugly snakes in my opinion, but I am sure there are people out there that love them.

    The things that I believe that should matter the most do not seem to be the primary focus of the majority of BP buyers. In my opinion, the most important thing is how good a pet is the animal going to be. The majority of my breeding focuses around making large, healthy, easy going animals. The sad fact is that I have never sold an animal with those factors being a consideration. It's always how many genes are in it and what are they and frankly that does't matter much beyond what initially catches your eye. So consequently, I have investment projects as well as my original goals.

    I do have a thing for BEL's and Albinos, however they are no better or worse pets than my single big normal.
    Honest, I only need one more ...

    Thanks for clarifying which ones change & how they change. I'm not a fan of Pieds either, btw. I prefer patterns over the lack thereof- pieds look unfinished to me.

    And I couldn't agree more on what's truly important in a pet snake- personality, health & ease of care. Nice to know I'm not the only one?

    Pieds make me think of a favorite shirt that fell into a load of wash with bleach...?

    But don't hate me, "Pied-fans"...we can't all like the same things?

    Nice little group. Im a bit surprised the super blade didn't get more votes. But anyway it was a tie for me my favorites were the axanthic pinstripe fire bee and the enchi YB clown. In case no one noticed the axanthic fire bee has paradox markings.

    Number five is pretty intense and love the colors sits my number one and number one is right there. Very unique looking snake. Seriously, they are all really amazing though.

    I have to go #5... I'm a sucker for clowns. #1 is beautiful as well.
