Now that I'm back with a little more time, I'll add a couple more thoughts...

One...it's a breeder's choice to get into multiple-morph pairings that might produce "mystery" offspring. If the breeder is terribly bothered by the lack of certainty with each individual snake, then maybe they should stick with pairings that will produce visual certainty?

Two...it's nothing new even in today's environment for breeders to be uncertain about a hatchling's genetics, even with single-gene base morphs or two-gene combos. How many threads have we seen lately with people asking for help identifying their own hatchlings? Some base morphs are very subtle, and "low quality" versions may look very "normal". This is an issue that everyone should be prepared to deal with at ANY level of breeding.

And lastly....I'd like to apologize for any lack of patience I've shown. I don't see a problem with mutli-gene snakes. The idea of them doesn't scare me...it doesn't make me afraid for the future of the hobby...how to deal with the issue from a breeder/business standpoint seems pretty straight forward to me. But just because that is how I see it doesn't mean others might not be stressed out by the prospect, and I apologize for getting impatient with different points of view.

So there are my thoughts on the matter. Hope they help someone.
