Absolutely, Garden!

As to the base morph crosses, that is an interesting topic and one I hadn't thought of. Like you said though regarding the genetic diversity eventually (looooooooooong time down the road!) becoming an issue, I think that even with the base morphs as the only options there would take a great deal of time before the "morph options" would eventually be tapped out, so to speak.

I agree to a large extent about the ethics of the wild caught animals and the trade in them, but there are two sides to that coin. A little off topic but bear with me, please, lol!. When Kenya outlawed sport hunting decades ago, the animals were the ones that suffered, as poaching became rampant and several species were brought to the brink of extinction because of it. If animals can "pay their way" by providing a sustainable income for indigenous peoples whether it be through the pet trade or sport hunting/safaris, etc., all the better if it benefits the wild populations through enhanced legal protection via laws and game rangers, etc.

That is not to say that the animals should be exploited and/or the local people exploited to fuel/support the pet trade or sport hunting. I don't mean to come across as heavy handed with my comments and hope I don't with my comments. Historically speaking, SOME animal populations in SOME instances have suffered horrifically because of there being a lack of outside interest, whether it be concerned parties or those with a vested interest, such as pet owners or safari/sport hunters, etc. I dunno...just my thoughts, lol! I'll shut up and go sit in the corner now, lol!
