    Good/Bad examples of morphs

    So I'm new to BPs and was wondering if some of you more experienced keepers could post some side by sides of what you consider good and bad examples of whatever morphs you feel like posting, and a brief description of why. I just want to make sure my eye for quality is honed before I start doing more than window shopping. Thanks ahead of time!

    I think you're gonna get mixed results. Its all opinion based as far as what you like. For example pieds, some like low white and a lot of pattern and others like the high white lil patterns.

    I don't own anything that's a bad example of the morph. I only buy quality. My opinion of what quality looks like may differ a bit from others, but still, none of mine would be considered poor examples. I'm gunna go out on a limb and say that a lot of other people on here have the same opinion of their own snakes lol...

    Good/Bad examples of morphs

    Well, if I think it's a bad example, I don't take pictures of it. I'll admit that I've produced some really ugly pastels in the past.

    And then I'm of the opinion, "Every snake is a beautiful snake!" Granted, if you're breeding and need to make any amount of money off your snakes, you'd better have expressions of the morph that people like...but if you're simply doing it as a hobby, I think you should breed what YOU like. Just me tho. :o)

    It all comes down to personal opinion...I almost always prefer a cleaner or reduced look as opposed to a busy pattern.

    I much prefer the cleaner banded pattern on this Enchi compared to the next one...







    I like my Spiders the same way...clean and reduced with little or no spots...





    Same deal with Lessers/Butters...I prefer a reduced pattern to a busy one...






    Nice patterns on both of these Spiders but I prefer the coloring on the bottom one...

    Well, I guess I really need to take some updated pics. This picture is so old it's not even funny (this guy is about to be a daddy), but I've always thought he was a very nice example of a Clown.
