its your money....spend it on what you want. if you want local then go local. but can you really prove that it is truly that local.

Lucas:

I'll take it a step farther and let's look at ball pythons. What's the difference between a $10,000.00 morph and a normal? Just because a snake is more colorful or visually unique doesn't mean it's a better quality animal.

If you want to pay more for an outcross or an animal bred for high color - there is nothing wrong with that. However, somehow equating that color to quality is where I don't agree.
