Another thing i'm trying to wrap my head around is retic patterning, they really do their name justice. Maybe i'm just more used to boas, but i am pretty good at scrutinizing them on looks, not expert, but i think i've developed a pretty keen eye for many of the subtleties of the patterns. But with tics i feel like i'm looking at a kaleidoscope, i can distinguish the obvious stuff, but i mean like comparing 2 normals and deciding which one is cleaner or prettier, i'm stumped at this point. Any tips? Not that looks will be the be-all end-all in my search, i'm just trying to expand my knowledge.
For example, i'm looking at a couple of purples on fauna right now, and they are single gene purples, but i cant tell if any are better looking than the others at this point.
