What are your LEAST favorite morphs?
Everyone has their favorites, but you rarely hear people talking about their least favorite. For me, there are three:
Axanthic: I think they're okay, and have seen some nice ones that have very little brown, but they seem to get more brown the older they are.
Hypos: I know it's a favorite for a lot of people, but the "average" hypo just looks like a ball that's getting ready to shed. Doesn't do much for me. I do like many of the hypo crosses, though.
Spider: I love the top half of the snake, but the white blotchy scales on the bottom turn me off. If only they can find one in Africa that models the pinstripe, but with the spider pattern.

I'm not too sure if I have a least favorite. I like them all

Re: What are your LEAST favorite morphs?
Xdeus, I think I'm with you on the Axanthic....they're nothin special (by themselves) however, it is this trait when crossed with another, much prettier morph such as albino or pastel, that makes for a truly spectacular animal!! My absolute LEAST favorite is probably the hypermelanistic - as i prefer lighter colored balls....I have seen some hypers that were absolutely UGLY UKE: !!! I wouldn't pay a dollar for one of these!!

Hmm... I don't think you're being honest with yourself. You mean to tell me that if someone offered you a choice between a Blue Eyed Leucy or a Granite Ball, you wouldn't be able to make a decision?

I think Raj just means there's not a single morph he dislikes. But yeah...he seems to have taken the easy way out by not bothering to try and scale which morphs he likes the least of all those he loves. ( @ Raj)
As for me....I'm like Raj in that I like ALL of them and wouldn't turn down any bp that someone wanted to give me. LOL But that being said, I don't get particularly excited by axanthics, hypos, albinos, or most pastels all by themselves...but all of these can be important "ingredients" for some spectacular combinations.

Re: What are your LEAST favorite morphs?
Axanthics and albinos just don't do it for me. I was offered a 100% het male albino for $50 a few months ago and I turned it down. I see a rare example now and then that I think "if they ALL looked like that, maybe I can understand" but they are so few and far between. I know there's a market for them from a business perspective, but like Adam once advised me - get what you love. Since I don't LOVE albinos, I had to take a pass.
Axanthics I just don't "get". By themselves - I think they're pretty boring looking, I love color contrasts instead. I haven't really done much research to know what their potential is in other crosses though, so one day, maybe I'll need to re-consider.

Doh! This is why I said least FAVORITE. Think of them as a box of chocolates. They're all good, but there are probably some that wouldn't be your first choice.
