Super Morphs

[Stewart_Reptiles]

It's elementary, my dear Watson. Actually it's an elementary aspect of economics: Supply & Demand.

At some point in the future "super fires" will saturate the market and will retail at PetCo/PetsMart for <$100. "Super-duper fires" will then be all the rage and will sell on FaunaClassifieds for >$500.

Professional reptile breeders are in a race against each other to produce colors/patterns which are rare or non-existent.

Re "looks better"... that's entirely subjective.

Re "a good snake to breed" ... for what purpose? To turn a profit? Probably yes. However, I think we should first educate ourselves more on the unintended consequences of inbreeding, genetic erosion, etc. Spider morphs, for example, exhibit a very obvious and physical flaw. How many other morphs have flaws which are less obvious and/or not physical?

The healthiest breeders are probably normals, but try turning a profit (or even breaking even) with normals.

I could make a lenghty post but I will sum it up with one thing we agree with

we should first educate ourselves

....once you do you will change your perspective on what is called inbreeding and the fact that Spider wobble issue is not the result of it neither are issues such as duck billing in Super Black Pastels, or other issues encountered in some specific mutations.
