You see this a lot in the pastel morphs. You can have a yellow as can be sire and dam that produce browned out babies. If you want to buy from the big breeders that's fine. I'm not telling you not to. But on some morphs you could buy just as nice of an animal from a small breeder. Honestly most of the time when you buy from the big boys your buying the name, not so much the morph.
That's kinda my dilemma. I'm by no means in a hurry to flush an extra $1-200 down the drain just for a name, but like you said, you could get a gorgeous snake and get a bunch of ugly omes out of it, and my whole thing was that is it worth it to spend more because it's much less likely to happen with the bigger name guys stock.
