Bound to be a controversial post

I couldn't agree more. I cannot say these designer snakes aren't "eye candy" but the snakes themselves would be better off if most people only bought photos/posters of them.

Exactly. I understand that they're beautiful and I love that they've brought people into loving snakes but just looking at the morph forums here you see people who only see snakes as possible breeders to get what they want. That's not okay to me at all. Snakes are living creatures too and ball pythons in particular are amazing sweet pets. The more people will ONLY settle for some unique looking morph then what happens to the vast majority of normals that are bred when searching for those elusive genes?
