I love the discussion on this and it is influencing my "proposal". I do agree with Eric or Deborah at least at this point but I respect their opinions. They retail, I do not. I make two kinds of animal right now. I make the ones I like, and I make the ones that my buyers says sell well. Ironically my personal quest in quality has nothing to do with paint jobs. I like to produce animals that are easy keepers and have the genes to get large for ball pythons. The paint jobs for me are just a way to attract someone to the animal in the first place. My personal favorite snake in my collection is a big, ugly normal female. She doesn't win people over with her looks, she is all personality. I paid less for her than any other animal in my collection but she holds the highest personal value to me. She is worth more to me than all my gravel stuff put together. All that said she is still at best a $35 normal that I would probably rate as a 2 on a pretty scale.

In the end I think what I am going to put forward will make sense. Even those opposing it may not like it but will have to admit it could work.
