Scaleless eastern garter morphs

[Jeff B]

I agree it with what you said about morphs in the hobby I always wondered why that is the only thing i could come up with is maybe breeders care more about finding the highest buyers instead of the right buyers like selling most to people that don’t intend on breeding I could be wrong and I’m not talking about you Jeff or anyone I know but that’s all I could come up with I don’t understand why almost all the morphs that were around in 2008 are gone now

Well it is just difficult as a breeder to keep things going and it takes years of perseverance and hard work. If it was easy and only took a couple weeks with little work everyone that had an interest would be making morph combos. Very very very few people stick with breeding garter snakes. Snakes die on you over the winter, or a morph is just finicky about breeding and/or has issues with productivity, people loose interest, people move on to other snakes, other breeding projects, other hobbies all together. Sometimes people just give up or they just need a change in there life to focus on something else...life happens. Some breeders stay in the hobby only a few years. Some are in it for years then burn out and disappear. Some start then quit and get rid of everything then a year later "they're back" trying to build up a collection and they do that start and stop thing over and over, so they never really accomplish anything or contribute to the hobby, and there are those that just just suck the life out of it with negative comments about morphs. Thats my two cents on why morphs don't persist in the hobby.
Eddie what do you think?
