    Re: What if normal was a morph, and the "normal" ones in the wild looked different?

Then people would get all excited about these snakes with their bold dark blacks and brown splotches. What would we call that "morph"? I like "black and tan", personally.
    No real point to make, I just think it's interesting how we tend to think the more exciting morphs are the ones that are more exotic, because they look more drastically different from the average wild individual.

    Don't ask me what kind of environment would produce a whole population of non-venomous, nocturnal, terrestrial snakes with a number of predators that ambush their prey in the dark.... and are also bright yellow or white. But it's kinda fun to think about.

    OK, back to work, no more procrastinating on the internet...
    i would call it "ET" or "extraterrestrial" b/c of the alien head patterns.
