I get it. I'm planning to spend a few years to see what he throws or if he's a het. I wouldn't sacrifice a super pastel, or a pastave, or a BEL or pewter project to breed a normal male to a female morph. I have a male pastel, spider, mojo and albino, and of course I'll be producing combos before I ever give a female morph to a normal male. He's a dinker project. If he proves out in 2010 to be a het for something cool, great. If in the next few years it looks like he's able to produce animals with nice flames and blushing, than why wouldn't I give him an extra co-dom female to try and hatch some improved base breeders? I'm not going to push any male morphs out of the the way to get a normal in there, but I liked him, and I have the next 20 years to dink around with him if I want. If he gets pushed to the side due to better projects that's cool. If his offspring are all very normal looking, and his daughter's and his offspring aren't special, that's cool too. I'm not going to take my female cinny or pastels or albino and say, "I could make all these cool combos, but this normal guy I picked up for $30 looks promising".
