i have the morphs that i do because:
1. i love the way they look
2. i could afford to buy or trade for them
3. i want to make more of them or use them to make something else

at this point, i can't justify buying a snake if i don't love the way it looks, even if i can use it to make something i do like. i guess the exception is hets--for example, i bought a male het pied so i could work on producing pieds--but i did still choose a snake who's looks i really liked.
