Quite simply one is naturally existing and the other is man made. There seems to be some sort of mob mentality with reptiles that they should be kept as natural as possible except when it comes to albinos and other "morphs" that make heaps of cash
From a conservation point of view, a natural looking snake has some value as an example of something like what you may see in the wild. Designer snakes lose this IMO whether they are man made hybrids, "morphs" that wouldnt normally survive in the wild or just line bred traits that wouldnt ever exist naturally.
I personally see a place for designer snakes and natural looking types. Another thing to keep in mind is that no multigeneration CB snakes are truely natural.
