Morph Photo Spread

What did you all think of the photo spread in the latest Reptiles Magazine that had a ton of the morphs all together? I thought it looked awesome but the morph names are getting down right ludicris!

Indeed it was very impressive and I am going to get one of each,...
Just as soon as Ed McMahon brings me that 10 million dollar publishers clearing house check!

Wow, i was looking at them, but how did they make so many morphs? Are they just natural, Or bred some way?

I'd love to have an albino spider. Or a spider pinstripe, pearl is pretty also.

I liked the viper ball. Cool coppery pattern. They are all beautiful, but man! There's almost as many as corns, for Pete's sake. Now, if they only cost what corns do.....

A combination of years of work in selective breeding and just plain dumb luck! Some of the starter animals just happen by mutation and then the breeders try to "fix" the mutation and improve on it so that it can be bred reliably. A prime example is... almost all animals will throw an albino from time to time. By tweeking the genetics you can develop animals that throw all albinos on a regular basis.

Now that I think about it some of the snakes in that spread looked obese. I know BPs are supposed to be heavy bodied but go back and look at them closely. Some of them are downright TOO FAT!
