I know a of people really hope that the snake they have is a morph of some kind, as though a classic ball were less desirable or somehow worth less than a morph.

The simple truth is, 99% of these hopeful snakes are all classics, and that there isn't a darn thing wrong with that.

Sure a morph is nice to have, both for the attractive factor and the prestige of being able to say one owns a morph. But there is no shame in owning a classic or twenty. Classics are just as desirable as a morph, sometimes even more so because classics help breeders keep strong healthy outcrossed lines that allow them to make those amazing morphs. And while classics will always be less expensive than any morph, they are far from being worthless.

I have several morphs myself, and a handful of lovely classics, and I never tire of my classics, they differ in color, pattern, markings, no two are alike. So even if your snake isn't a morph, enjoy it for what it is. Classics are like snowflakes, and all are beautiful.
