Which is why I don't have a dozen as if they were pokemon. I won't lie- I have seen some retics that have made my go 'wow, ain't nature grand?' And then realize that nature has a tendency to cull that from the wild. Its man's (and/or woman's) intervention that has allowed it and nurtured it. Call it evolution or design but nature (in most cases) favors what can hide and hunt successfully. While we can help these morphs along to see its (arguable) potential I just can't see any reason to breed for something without scales or pits. I know the dollar (or whatever currency) is important at different degrees to everyone but I hate seeing people jump on a fad because they will make a quick buck. Its an emotional argument in the end because everyone can spout numbers and statistics to support their side. I'll just never put my money in that direction.

Thank goodness I'm not up here trying to talk about crossbreeding. Because that argument is a bloody dang nightmare!
