Your Opinion on Spotnoses?

[Sarin]

I am just curious what everyone's opinion is on Spotnoses. Them alone, in combos, and/or their super form.

Are they another one of those underrated morphs that will become big? (such as Enchi's and Vanillas) or do you think we've seen the most of what they can do?

Would you / have you ever invested in this morph?

I personally love spotnoses. I've seen some really hot combos, the pastel spotnose still being one of my favorites.

I think they are gaining a lot more attention recently and I think there is still a long way to go with the morph.

I own a pair of spotnoses and I'm really looking forward to working with them in the future. My girl Bonnie is one of my favorites and I don't give her as much attention as I should. Being a little more of a subtle morph than say a pastel or a spider they are easy to over look.







Edit: Your post made me go get my little girl out. She's been sitting around my neck as I'm writting this.

I have high hopes for a lesser powerball.....but thats a long way off for me.

Spotnose combos are cool, normal spotnose-not so much. just my .02

I love spotnose combos. And I think we are only just scratching the surface from what I've seen this season. People have been posting some nice combos.

Here is my late 2010 male pastel spotnose.




Here is his brother. A super pastel spotnose that is owned/was produced by Tom Agosta. Unfortunately the flash on my iPhone made the pic a little too bright. But let me tell you he is smokin in person.

I have a male spotnose and love him. They are very light colored and busier pattern. I haven't combined him with anything yet, well besides a normal......was hoping to get a female to make Powerballs. Only got one male from her Maybe this year I will get one.

I have a female spotnose about 700 grams. I can't wait till next season so I can pair her up with one of my males. Now the question is which male,my SpinnerBlast or Phantom? Hmm so exciting!!

[PassionsPythons]

I think the spotnose is a great morph. I don't get where people think they look like a normal because they look nothing like a normal. The combos they can make are pretty nice too, and it's not a boring super.

Currently I have:

0.2 Spotnose
1.0 Spotnose Albino

My plan is to make powerballs het albino as well as a few other nifty things. Another big step I wanna make with them is introducing the pied gene, ghost gene as well as a slew of co-dom genes. I'm also very interested to find out what would happen when put to a clown since they both have such busy head patterns. Not to mention clowns are typically reduced and spotnose are far from reduced. I bet it would be a killer combo.

Spotnoses don't really "do it" for me, and I haven't yet seen any spotnose combos that really do, either. I think I've seen one spotnose for sale once upon a time that I thought looked excellent, but most of them just aren't my cup of tea.

If we have seen the greatest of the spot combos, then I think I can safely say there probably isn't anything that will compel me to invest in the morph. I kind of like the calico spotnose, so maybe if I saw a female spot for sale that really caught my eye I might pick her up to start a calico spot project.

Other than that, though, I know I won't be seeking them out as avidly as female Enchis -- but then, that's a personal preference, as I like reduced-pattern stuff, which Enchi is. I'm not as fond of "busy" stuff, which spotnose is.

... And who knows -- maybe some spot combo will be created that will be irresistible and blow everyone out of the water, like the vanilla cream (vanilla x fire). I know I didn't see that coming, and that's the combo that makes me want to get into vanillas.

I'm not too familiar with the spotnose morph. Can anyone explain to me what to look for in one?
