| | Regular Member | Join Date: Apr-08 Location: Minnesota, USA Gender: | | | | Actually just about all of the base morphs were collected in the wild and there are still wild populations and there are wild populations of a few of them out there. No different at all then any of the morphs you have there, albinos, calicos, ect; besides the fact that theres a lot more different independant genetic traits that people have combined together. Call them fake you better be calling your morphs fake too, and you know full well if there were as many morphs in a species you guys would be breeding them too. |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Feb-08 Location: melbourne Age/Gender: 18 | | | | i dont see how they are fake, its not like they are manipulating the dna to cause different coulors, its just through selective breeding, its no different to high yellow diamonds or hypo carpets. nice snakes you have there daemonox, very impressive! would love a ghost, phantom or bloodred!! |

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Apr-07 Location: central coast. nsw Gender: | | | Amazes me how people try to further their arguments on morphs, by keep bringing up albino's, the ultimate freak. An albino would have to live in the Arctic to survive to adulthood. Oh, no, wait.... it might be too cold their.... Quote:
