Beautiful snakes. I wish, I wish. Then again I am so happy with my common and Garden variety BHS. Nice work on the morphs.

Cheers! I know exactly what you mean, Kevin.
You've got to appreciate the wild type of a species to really appreciate the morphs, I think - and frankly, some of my favourite looking animals here are my normals!

Nice one, I'd love to be able to find them out walking!
If I ever did find one out walking, it would no doubt be an escapee from my collection haha!
