Saying that breeding different morphs together is "genetic engineering" is akin to me telling anyone who has children that they "genetically engineered" them.

Of course, everyone has a line they draw. "I'd never assist feed a hatchling, if it dies, it was meant to die." "I'll never cut eggs, if they don't pip they weren't meant to live." "I'll never own a mixed breed dog, they're mutts." "I'll never own a purebred dog, they're all inbred"

It's always easy to be kennel blind and think that YOUR way is the right way. It is right FOR YOU. It does not mean that everyone else is wrong.

In opinions, there is no right or wrong. If you don't like morphs, then don't buy them. What is wrong is when someone starts talking nastily about someone else's opinion or belief. Saying that someone breeding a morph combo is wrong and unnatural, while keeping your snakes and breeding them is rather ridiculous. Your snakes would not be together if you didn't pick them out. "Those morphs wouldn't combine in the wild" is an invalid argument unles you're allowing your snakes to wander an area and pick their own mates, while also being exposed to parasites and predetors etc. Any pet is not "in the wild" and therefor is "unnatural". So it's merely where YOU draw the line at "unnatural".
