    Why'd you get your morph?

    As the title states, why'd you get your morph(s)?

    Personally, I'd want an exciting morph because they are pretty and I'd never spend hundreds on a normal looking BP that has a chance of producing a morph offspring I can sell. I do see the purpose in trying to breed something specific for myself but I am not set up for, nor into breeding.

    You should add an option for "all of the above"

    Can't edit but the third one would fit best for that option since during the breeding process you'd have a lot of "potentials" to sell to someone doing the same thing.

    Re: Why'd you get your morph?

    I simply fell in love. I went in for a normal and came out with a pastel.

    I'm purely a pet keeper, no breeding intentions at all.
    I have disposable income, so it's no sweat to get what I like.

    Re: Why'd you get your morph?

    As soon as I saw a bumble bee, I knew I had to have one. I couldn't afford one out right at the time, so I got a spider and a pastel. They're great, but my underlying reason for getting them is to produce bees.

    Re: Why'd you get your morph?

    Both because I think my pastel male is beautiful (but then, I choose my normals for their beauty as much as I did my pastel) but also because I want to produce morphs; not entirely for the monetary aspect or to create any specific morph combo (I really like most everything I see, and...well..XD want most everything equally, not any one thing above others) but because I feel that it would be extremely, exquisitely rewarding and satisfying to produce beautiful babies out of the pets I have chosen because they appealed to me (both for temperament and beauty, with an emphasis on temperament because why would I want a pet, and my snakes are first and foremost treasured pets, that is skittish and snappy?), and raised up to an age at which they could breed. I think it would be extraordinarily satisfying.


    That probably sounds weird, but it's how I feel, and is why I didn't vote.

    My answer also would be "All of the above" I purchased, am purchasing my bp's on their looks for pets, but also for the potential offspring they will produce for me in the future as pets.
