There are many excellent points on this thread. I definitely agree that it is obnoxious seeing only ball python morphs at shows. However, while I believe ball pythons will always be a staple in the hobby because of their docile temperament and hardiness for beginner keepers, I think the "morph craze" is just a fad and will pass. Color variety does not make up for the knowledge and excitement that comes from working with a variety of species.
