I think everybody who loves these things should have the experience. I remember my first clutch that had morphs in it -each egg potentially having a different color baby in it was too much. The fanciest thing I stood to produce was snow, but I daydreamed about that clutch hatching! And when it did, it was as exciting as anything expensive I've since hatched. I would discourage anyone from producing large numbers of very common mutations, however. Unless there's a demand for them abroad that doesn't exist here, the low, low wholesale price dooms the animals to poor care and I never want anyone to contribute to that problem. Yes, some will be lucky, but I'd hate to think of my babies going to a life of cohabbing in a hot rock heated PetSmart rack and being offered crickets. Extreme example, but one that was posted in this very forum.
