This is just a commentary on something I noticed a while ago but I never really see anyone talk about it. Please keep in mind I am talking in generalities and they their are exceptions to the norms.

When I look at the other types of pets and variations that are sought after, it's very purebred driven. Sure lots of folks have mutts and love mutts but most are interesting in a particular breed. My mother has two Siamese cats. The only way to get a pure Siamese is to breed 2 Siamese together. Basically, people desire the "Super" or Homozygous forms of dog and cat variations. It's the pure breeds that are most popular and cost the most money.

Snake people, on the other hand, seem to be more interested in the "mutts" of the snake world. We are overjoyed when we get some multigene combo that only has a 6% chance of hatching. And, generally speaking, it's these mutigene animals that are sought after and higher priced.

So it makes me curious why the industries are so different in their preferences. I know it can't be an individual's mindset. I prefer pure breed dogs and cats over some sort of combo. But while I find some Supers are nice to look at, I find the combos more exciting.

What are you thought are the subject?
