Oh, I just meant that I would argue the fact that pretty parents lead directly to pretty babies. There is a lot of variation in the genes that isn't being eliminated in a single generation. The calico separation made at Constrictors Unlimited and the Pied project at JKobylka are examples of breeding for certain traits that have resulted in a more reliable offspring result. But I don't believe, sorry, that buying a pretty snake from some guy at a show will necessarily produce pretty offspring.

Because of this I look at the variation of a gene as well as what a good example of it looks like.
