    Many people don't understand or research the genes that wobble.
    They are one of the most beautiful base morphs that also happens to mix great with almost everything you could pair it to.
    I honestly cannot think of an ugly spider combo but I have not seen any 4 plus genes either.

    The same question could go for people........

    Re: Why the heck do people keep breeding spider morphs?

    Human beings are dumb animals and sex is one of the fundamental desires of many animals. That's why people keep reproducing without regards to appropriate breeding. And trust me, before my relationship many people thought I was terrible because I actually care about the genetics of my offspring and not propogating negative traits. For some reason to a lot of people that means you're shallow. But when you'll comfortably wait 3 years between partners because you have certain criteria and don't make other people feel lesser during that time when you turn them down, it isn't really in the same category as being shallow.

    Same with snakes. I know the snakes I will be breeding are the ones with the best traits in my mind, and not ones which lack solid traits. Eugenics is pretty common when we work with animals.

    But, at the end of it all, the traits we find enjoyable will continue to be bred for.

    Again, to the OP: Go get the snake you want, the morph isn't really expensive, and there are definitely some out there looking for homes.
