But we're talking about animals with lifespans in the multiple decades, compared with morph crazes that last a few years. And there are more hatchlings than there are good homes.
I agree. While I enjoy looking at all the crazy beautiful colorings I myself got a normal ball python who in my opinion is just as high quality animal as those that go for 20 Grand. She’s absolutely lovely and beautiful and the best tempered pet I’ve ever had. I don’t plan on breeding her either. Just taking care
