Do morphs keep color

[loonunit]

I get what Ryan is saying about pieds. I don't agree with him: I got into this business BECAUSE of pieds. My whole world revolves around them, and I know exactly what I want to combine with what to make the prettiest, brightest, craziest pieds. I personally think spiders are useless, because you can't combine them with pieds and get anything interesting...

But if I had started out as a spider fan instead, than yeah. For a spider person, pieds are useless, because all they make are white snakes. And you had to do a bunch of breedings to get those, because pieds are recessive.

But I think he's just plain wrong about pastels. Yeah, pastels needs a clean-up gene. But all those spectacularly bright 3+ gene snakes you see at the shows these days, most of them have pastel in them. If you want yellow, and you don't want an albino, then you have to stick some pastel in there at some point. And it's a co-dominant trait, and practically free. That's REALLY useful.
