    I love them all, it's the variety that makes having so many attractive.

    I do like the other morphs, (anery,etc) ... but it doesn't seem to matter what snake it is either .... if it's an albino pic I'll flick right past it, if it's a mixed litter I'm looking at the 'normals' in the pic .... in shops/at reptile shows I would rather look a the 'dull' normal sitting next to it . I know everybody's tastes are different , but it's a bit like fashion ... it becomes like cornmorphs or royal pythons.

    I love morphs.But my personal favorite is a really high end red spotted garter.I have seen them with heads redder than most flames.Not in the last 7-8 years though.I would love to find one.

    One part that I do agree about, A really nice flame should have a black back... The black and red go really well together.

    No way I would ever fork over $750 to get an albino flame.

    Pugets would look awful without that nice shiny solid black background, Infernalis' would just look wrong without the black bars, Blacknecks would also be ugly as hell without the black markings.

    Agreed.I am trying to get that dark canadian black back into my flames.Hopefully I'll get a good brood that I can spread around.

    no way would I pay that for ANY snake! £100 ('bout 150 dollaroonies) is my limit.

    I don't care for many albinos myself. I especially don't like snows. Looks dead, or like some kind of worm and you can't hardly tell one species of garter from another.

    There are some albinos that are beautiful though, such as those with striking orange, yellow, or red. Of course, this applies to my Amy. It's an old pic though. Seems like the areas lacking melanin have turned more lavender since then, and of course, she's bigger and thicker now. I think she's beautiful.



    Milk snake albinos can be very visually appealing too.
