    Ugly animals don't sell? Where do they go? I have seen a ton of morphs and morph combos especially that I would consider far from attractive but they generate high prices solely due to their genes. And considering most breeders keep the top quality animals almost everyone is getting someone's castoff. It's an interesting world that has sprung up over morphs, you'd think the variability in them would be more appreciated.

    Unfortunately, you're right. Champagnes look like trash but because people with a big name sell and like them, people still buy them.

    Sure, someone is getting some bodies cast off. But that's trickle down morphs I guess. I don't want to think people do it, but how many people just cull normals? And when a snake doesn't sell, and rack space is needed? Do they drop price, give it away, or cull it? Or do they just hang on to it.

    The variable in morphs is well represented here, some people for some reason likes brown pastels. While there are others who strive for high yellow pastels.
