I'm at a bit of a crossroad...
I know that the long term future of the morph industry is in the most noticeable morphs to the general public... to people who aren't as into morphs as we all are. Morphs that pass the "laymen's test" will dominate (the "HOLY CRAP THAT'S AWESOME" test). The Albino, Piebald, and the purest of white Blue Eyed Leucistic come to mind...
I know that for long term investment a recessive morph is the best way to go, but they're slim pickin's these days, with the exception of the Lavender Albino. Also, the Lavender Albino, long term... how much will it differenciate itself to the general public to the regular albino (I KNOW what I just said is blasphemy to Lav Alb enthusaists, but it isn't like albino vs piebald, that's like WOAH!). Let me be clear, I LOVE the Lavender Albino.
Yet, the Lesser is codominant, and we know what happens with codoms... *makes flushing sound*... but it's still... I mean, come on, it makes a pure white snake with blue eyes! I LOVE LEUCISTICS.
I'm torn between buying a Het Lav Alb male and a Lesser male next year. They're both roughly the same price, and that just happens to be how much I can spend. I have many normal females for whoever I breed them to... and I know that with the Het Lav Alb I'd have to keep twice as many 50% Het Females as I would with the Lesser male (I can afford it)... and I know I can just do the other morph the next year...
I'm just wondering which would you do first. Think it through. I've thought about it too much, and taken way too much Advil...
