Enchi lessers, on the other hand, are awesome.

I'll never be the guy to buy a bunch of cheap female normals just to get to breeding.

I still consider all 12 snakes to be pets first.
I plan to breed when they finally get to size, but I would consider breeding to a normal female boring as well.
All my projects would be multi-gene and provide for much more interesting outcome.

Anyone share this philosophy?

Not to pick but you said you plan on breeding all twelve of your snakes. Your signature has twelve snakes listed and the first one is a normal male..... You also have a single gene Piebald and Pinstripe listed....

I completely disagree with your opinion. I could have gone out and bought a Spinner, but instead I bought an amazing female Spider and male Pinstripe. Now I can make a Spinner, as well as other combos (Pinstripe het Albinos, Pinstripes, Lemon Blasts, and Pastels) all in the same breeding cycle by breeding my one Pinstripe to all my females.

Not to bash multi gene snakes, but honestly I prefer to keep everything simple. I can make the exact combo I like without any extras that could mess with what I am trying to do. I love that I can keep things "pure" without "extras" I don't want to have. I would never breed my Pinstripe to my Albino or het albino unless I was wanting to take the project further and wanted to make a Pinstripe Albino. If I only had a Pinstripe het albino I would always have to take in consideration the albino part. I can always go back to the basics and do exactly what I want. Plus the snakes I have are exactly what I like in the morphs and would want to reproduce.

Part of the fun of breeding is making what I like. Yes I could go out and buy a Bee. However to me the fun of breeding comes from having say in it every step of the way, and not having to find what I like or accepting someone else's standards.
