    Another thread but in short, "het Pieds" have pretty reliable markers and affect other morphs as if they were actually inc-dom. Also, the Leopard thing just solidifies this as then now you have Leopard as well as the "het Pied" gene in the Pied complex. Therefore, IMO "het Pied" is a somewhat subtle inc-dom gene with the Super being Pied.

    I am not the only person with this thought, and I did not originate the idea.

    Anything involving semi "normal" patterning and yellow coloration. Not a fan of pastel or any pastel variant. I prefer solid and bold colors or wacky stuff (banana). And in response to OP, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE panda pied

    So in essence, a lot like the BEL complex genes or the genes that make the potions? Correct? I can understand that logic. Makes sense.

    I'm not a huge fan of the banana/coral glow. It's highlighter yellow and the yellow/purple contrast hurts my eyes looking at it...literally. Then when it gets older, it gets those little black dots that make it look like it's infested with mites. Meh. Just doesn't do it for me.

    I love Albinos, but the Albino Spiders just don't too it for me. Too much uniformity in color.

    Axanthic.
    I have not seen an axanthic or an axanthic combo that I liked. Some look cool as hatchlings, but after their second shed they just look awful to me.

    Morphs/combos that make you go "meh"...

    I'll make another thread then. I thought i knew what you were thinking, i was smelling what you were cookin'!

    Now to answer your question...

    I'm not crazy about spiders or pins. They make some cool combos but aren't my favorites. I still want to add a few of their combos down the road though. I like a few champagne and enchi combos, but not a ton of them. I'd like one hot female example of each morph for breeding purposes. I love cinny stuff but the super cinny doesn't wow me. I think the panda pied is nice though. Albino is another morph that doesn't have many combos i'd want in my collection. I think some of the combos are cool looking, just not something i want in my collection. I'd like a hot spider albino female though, because they're sweet looking.

    There are quite a few combos that i can appreciate the beauty of, but just not something id want to add to my collection. Just not my taste. I find it kinda interesting that a lot of the stuff in my collection are morphs that people consider "normal" looking lol. Hypo, fire, yb, cinny; yep my snakes are certainly normal looking lol. I just think the problem is that people haven't seen a good enough example of the morph.
    1.0 normal bp

    If you think about it in terms of genetics and understanding how genetics work, just about every morph we work with is actually recesive. You have to look at the color/pattern changes just as you would in mice or any other animal/plant.

    I dont care for most Champ combos. Some are nice, but I think most of them are just way too borring.

    I think most all of the morphs have their good and bad combo's, but for me pied combo's of any kind are kind of Meh.

    I do not care for the Panda Pied.
    Just another double Super (I do not consider Pied recessive)
    How are pieds not recessive?
    I'll take that a step further, all of the so called recessive traits are actually incomplete dominant traits with homozygous supers forms, no different than specters, pastels, mojaves etc. etc.
