    why did YOU get a morph?

    I have wanted a spider for sometime.. have even been facinated with a few other morphs and in April we will have the extra money to get at least one morph of my choice (not like a pie bald but something nice) my husband is always looking for the money aspect in everything. April I will be able to finally get a morph of my choice. ((insert happy dance))

    For me I want a morph for me. I like the look, enjoy having something that isnt as popular, exc. My husband wants a morph only when it comes time to breed (he understands needing to raise up a female or getting a young male but needing something to breed to, thus the hatchling female for now) His mind thought is needing a morph only to breed.. otherwise why bother. Do most people get their morphs to breed them strictly or more for a pleasure aspect?

    Re: why did YOU get a morph?

    I'm right in the middle on that question.

    In a sense, I am completely and totally in love with the snake itself and how it looks, their personalities, etc.

    But then again, I love the thought of producing my own kick ace snakes!

    Re: why did YOU get a morph?

    Well, I don't have one and probably never will... but if I ever could get a BP morph it would be for the pleasure of owning, seeing, and handling a beautiful animal. My current favorite morphs are some of the most expensive: Pewter, Bumblebee, and Super pastel.

    Oh...that's right, I DO have morphs: Corn snake morphs. Though they probably don't count, I can say that I got them because they're beautiful, dutiful eaters, over a year old, and in the case of my ghost very sweet and docile.

    Just remember, no matter what the looks of the animal, what counts is that you have a great relationship with them.

    Re: why did YOU get a morph?

    Just out of curiosity, how would getting a morph be different than the two normals that you had?

    But to answer your question, when I finally decide upon the morph that I want to get first (they are all so beautiful) it would be because a particular snake has caught my eye and to add a little variety to my collection. For me it would be more for the pleasure of having a morph, than for the breeding of them. If I end up with all normal looking BPs in the end (as I do have one poss. het albino), that would be fine with me too. They are all beautiful in my book, normal or any of the morphs.

    I think people get them for both reasons. I got my first morph for breeding, but also for having a beautiful snake. If you are thinking about getting a morph, think about what your goal is first. Then work from there. Thats what I did. Right now I want to make super pastels. Then Bee's, meaning I need a spider .
    Either way, I hope you find something that both you and your husband will enjoy!
    Good luck!
