MorphMarket Launches Today

Perhaps you haven't seen what the "nearly normal" looking morph does when combined with other morphs? A good example is the crystal gene. Look up a "special" morph then look up a "super special" or "crystal". The almost completely normal looking "special" turns into a completely different animal in combination. A mojave and special makes a crystal.

Or take yellowbellies or enchis. They also look close to normal but when combined with others or even with themselves to make a super(yellowbellies super form = ivory) they make incredible animals.

The newer the gene, the higher the price. When the gene can make incredible combos, the price will be higher. When people discover something awesome that the gene can do, the demand can go up also.

I still have trouble seeing a yellowbelly, it looks like a regular normal. But I know what yellowbelly can do in combinations. So yellowbelly is a desirable gene and worth a lot more money.

That makes a lot more sense. It's still shocking seeing a $750 BP that is only marginally different than a normal. For example I see a pastel puzzle that I honestly can't tell a difference between that and my normal, except theirs is $850. Then the Huffman Het Ghost looks exactly light a slighty lighter shade normal. Maybe my eyes are dumb. I can see why Super Chocolate is expensive ( beautiful snake by the way), but it's still high.
