It's about breeders that do share wonderful morphs and of course we all get excited but the reality is their hours of chipping snake crap off tubs. None of us want to read posts about exactly how many pounds of urates Kara has moved this year but that is the reality and it isn't all that exciting. It is in fact boring to clean snake poop but you do it as a part of the responsible care of the snake.....one snake or 1,000 snakes....normal or morph.
Lines are in the end things that seperate a group of people. They do sometimes encourage people to cross a line too fast in order to be "in" a part of that group they perceive as more valued or more interesting. In the end though, your 1 pet snake or NERD's 1,000's of snakes, your lovely normal or Kev's lastest blow your mind morph.....it's a ball python. Enjoy it for that, enjoy the people here who love this type of snake, don't give a spit for lines anyone else draws, draw your own.
Okay who wants to come help me clean up some urates!
What a perfect post!
