Thanks a bunch! .. but fact is I don't myself take it quite so seriously..

I do think it's important to keep the lines going, and I agree there's little future for some of these animals if people won't work for a future for them. But I'm not on any crusade nor do I think I'm saving the planet. It's what I personally appreciate and enjoy.. There's no denying the value of the work put into some of the Morph projects either..
.
I don't see a point to any war or competition between different interests in the hobby.. or to question the goals or methods of potential competitors. Want to impress people with your ideas? .. show us what you can do! The feeling and results are much better than getting a step up on the neck of somebody that you disagree with or don't like (or are envious of).
.
Our common interests are the animals. When we work from that point of agreement things go best.

I'm glad I got the lecture part of the thread out of the way!

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

i cant agree more. i hate it when people gripe about breeding morphs or cross breeds. as long as the person breeding em has a love and dedication to keeping these species going, and has their best interests in mind who cares what they breed as long as it isn't something that is going to ruin the species so to speak or cause genetic problems.

Here's a couple of that nice Boa's kids.. or probable kids, since he was only the lead male of the breeding.

.. his strong colouration and some of his patterning have come through well.. the exact look of his tail has been harder to see expressed in the group. But I'm still a young man (at heart) so there's time to work on that.

Thanks for all the great comments.
