Are we the last of the old timers?

I think that is a bit presumptuous. I don't see anyone (now or in the future) taking long-time breeders for granted. To what extent ball python morphology will continue to progress no one can say but I disagree that "your generation's" contributions will by any means be the be-all and end-all of genetic engineering in reptiles.

Agreed. The amount of combos that can be produced with at least 60 identified base morphs are endless. We'll never see all the possible combinations in our lifetime.
