    "Original" morph images

    This might be an odd question!




    This is about morphs, but it's not necessarily about the genetics behind them, more about the pictures, so I figured this section would be more appropriate. If anyone feels this should be moved, feel free to move it!

    Anyway...I've always sort of thought about this, especially with things like the Toffee ball and all..
    I would enjoy seeing the 'first' of the morphs that were found/produced! Especially comparing them to now. What did the original spider look like? Or the first pied? I've heard Brian at BHB imported the first pinstripe, but I'm curious about seeing these animals! Especially since so much change can happen over the years, it would be interesting to see a much older snake of a certain morph! I don't think I've ever seen a picture of his first pinstripe! Same goes for many morphs. I'm curious about how the morphs have changed or stayed the same with captive breeding. Cleaner, more reduced, less reduced, etc. I know that the base morphs were naturally occurring mutations, and I guess it just would be cool to see that first time someone took notice that there was something different. Like the first lesser, or pastel..I dunno! It fascinates me.


    I'm curious partially also because of all of the hopeful dinkers that are always tossed around. I know sometimes the wild caught specimens aren't always as great looking as captive bred specimens, especially compared so it's interesting when someone can see something unique in an animal that turns out to be a morph that would completely change the industry!


    I don't even know if many of these pictures are available, maybe for some of the newer morphs. It would just be cool to see, I think.

    But maybe I have seen some of them, and I just don't know it because that wasn't mentioned where I saw them! If you know of any, please share!

    I saw the first pinstripes when BHB imported them...They look just like todays pinstripes... I remember when Brian first showed it to me. I was holding it when he told me what he paid. I almost dropped it...lol I quickly handed it back never to hold it again....

    I had the same reaction when Becky from WF Reptiles brought out her Cherry Bomb.. I was too afraid to even ask to hold it and I didn't dare ask how much that snake would cost.

    LOL... I wish I would have asked the cost before he handed it to me. After that I asked about the price of everything he handed me...

    The first lesser was actually captive bred. There have been lessers imported since, but the first ones were from Ralph Davis's original Platinum (Platty Daddy). You can see the pictures of the original on his site on the genetics list.
