As a science student, I am fascinated and amazed by the genetic magic that has been worked with ball pythons. I do think there are some stunning morphs out there (though I really don't like solid or semi-solid morphs, i.e. super cinnies, pieds, leucies, ivories, etc.), my favorites probably being butters and/or clowns.
HOWEVER, that said, I would take one of those gorgeous wild-types any day over ANY morph.
The thing about normals is that you could easily imagine stumbling across one in Africa. The whole reason why I'm so in love with snakes is because of their mysterious, wild side. I just can't see that in morphs. They're cool, but a super pastel just isn't the type of thing you're going to pull out of the wild! They seem--and are, to a certain extent--somewhat man-made and not entirely authentic. But that's probably just me. And again, I really do admire all of the amazing morphs!
But seriously? You ain't gonna find a snake prettier than these gals!
