    Picking the best Morph

    Well hatching season is here and continuing and the time for us buyers is soon to begin to. I've decided to educate myself since one day I'd like to breed a small bit as a hobby but before that I need to select the best quality animals.

    I looked at hunters guide to morphs but I didn't understand. I have a mental picture of what I want in a Male Cinnamon and Male Spider but It's hard to describe.

    So I am hoping for some help from the pros, those most experianced. Cause it certainly ain't me. I just know what I think is pretty.

    Re: Picking the best Morph

    your best bet is to shop around online to see what is offered as well as go to local expos. Wait until you find that one you have to have. I personally would rather pay more to get that snake that fits what I want and my " mental picture" of what it should look like.

    Re: Picking the best Morph

    Yeah I agree, Unfortunatly I had found the two perfect males but they had been sold, I was tricked by a non updated site

    Hopefully at W.A.R.E or online I'll find what I seek.

    And that's what you buy. What pleases YOU the most.

    Spiders - some prefer low white, some prefer high white, some prefer reduced pattern, some prefer some busy pattern. MY ideal spider is a high white, reduced pattern spider.

    Cinnamons - again, a personal preference. I like mine to "pop". I searched for over a year for my perfect cinnamon. I like a black back and I like the pattern to "float". I got both:

    Re: Picking the best Morph

    Robin I have to say our tastes on cinny's and spiders match. For spiders I am all about high white sides and bright gold with reduced patterns. And I love cinnamons with a nice reddish brown than make you go oooh. Your cinnamon is the picture I go by when looking for one.

    Ben Renick had two males that were in my mind perfect, But I'll be checking him and Bailey reptiles this summer. As well as my breeder friends from W.A.R.E

    Re: Picking the best Morph

    Well I do not go by guide or based on what other think, I go by what I like.

    I tend to be very picky and I know what I want and what I don't want, so when I buy an animal or even hold one back I select what I found the most appealing according to MY taste.

    And sometimes it can take a while, took me 2 years to find the perfect pair of Albino

    So my advice know what YOU want and be patient don't jump on an animal because you want that morph in your collection now or because it's a great deal, be picky and chose wisely.

    Your own words are the best advice. Get what you like the best. Everyone has their own tastes for various morphs.

    Take spiders, some like a lot of pattern, some like minimal pattern. It's whatever floats your boat.

    Make sure you buy from a quality breeder with good animals and a good rep and beyond that, get what you like the most.
