I know it's been done a few times, but i thought the results a decisive 3 option poll (unlike one of Sdaji's) would be interesting to see.
Don't think about the shades of grey that might make you think too much your decision. EG - When does something become a morph anyway? when it's fluro pink?
Morph, Locality Pure or Both.

Locality pure and morphs aren't mutually exclusive. You can have (and there are many examples of them) locality pure morphs. All individuals of perhaps the country's most well known morph, albino carpets, are still locality pure. Not all morphs are hybrids and most didn't start out through hybridisation.

Wow, two votes and it's just the way it should be, breed both and let others do as they please.

Perhaps I should have phrased it better, or taken more extreme examples from opposite ends of the argument.
Maybe "what do you look for in a herp?" would be better? EG - Would you buy an animal of unknown origins that was slightly more striking than an animal that came with specific locality information? etc etc

My answer to that question is definitely no, if you replace 'slightly' with 'much' then the answer would be yes. Quote: |

You should have put 'hybrids' not 'morphs' bc.

I think I look at appearance first then breeder reputation and price. I would like to start collecting location specific animals too but thats not been an issue for me until recently (after I came on here).

Nothing wrong with morphs, hell, I've seen some great looking anmals that would be considered morphs that are locality pure, you can have both. There are plenty of nice locality pure animals out there to choose from, and they take my preference, but that doesn't mean if I can't be 100% sure of where an animal comes from I'll reject it, I just prefer locality pure animals as they have more meaning to me, and any future breeding will be focused around them. I won't choose animals simply based on locality either, if the animal does not look nice in my opinion, I will not buy it, simple.
