I'm not a breeder, so maybe I just don't get the idea.
OK, say you have some hatchlings with six morphs showing. I've heard these tend to just be muddy unattractive snakes, therefore you probably won't be pricing any of them on their beauty, and that also means that your potential buyers willing to spend significant money for one of these animals are limited to other breeders.
But, what is a breeder going to do with this six gene animal? Isn't it a crap shoot for them too? So, the new owner will invest a couple of years raising it to breeding weight and hatching his own clutch...seems no better than throwing paint at the wall and hoping for a Vermeer.
