I love orange dreams. Some of the best looking ball pythons I've seen in person have been orange dream combos and I've seen A LOT of snakes.
As a ball python breeder I respect any mutation whether its subtle or significant that can reliably change the appearance in offspring. I make my own judgments and keep them to myself. Cynicism never got me anywhere in life.
The orange dream is not an enchi, I never understood why people even compare mutations to other mutations? I mean does it even remotely matter? Enchis are a dime a dozen, hence the price tag. Orange dreams aren't and offer something completely different. I think it's actually fortunate people get to work with this mutation at such an affordable price so early in its development.
Every orange dream I have hatched has been incredible in base form. Not sure if I got lucky or what, but to me threads like this make me scratch my head.
