The "mystery" of what's going to hatch out is part of the fun of breeding, at least it is for me.

I am more thrilled about the clown that I PRODUCED than I would have been had I just flat out purchased one.
I agree, but it seems that Mike is trying to make it seem that many breeders are above using other techniques other than altering the "naturally occurring traits". I think a lot of people in the reptile community would gladly use advanced methods to get the same results. Also, I'm not sure it wouldn't be just as rewarding to the "mad scientist" to create a special morph using genetic engineering.
