Over the years I have heard generalizations about different morphs, some are poor starters, flighty, aggressive, weak breeders, kinked... has anyone ever compiled a list of these trends?
There really aren't too many generalizations about different morphs. The only one that I can think of that has a least a little truth behind it right now are Sunkisseds being a bit feisty, especially when young. Not much of a list, IMO.
In the UK at least there is a distinct trend for lines of lavenders to produced kinked snakes. Example - we bred a het lavender female to a het lavender male last year - all fine. Bred to a different male this year and all lavender offspring bar one kinked. Won't be doing that breeding again that's for sure. Fingers crossed for his other clutch but that was to a sibling so i do not have high hopes.
It's also the case that negative characteristics of a new morph, can be gradually bred out of it. For example, when Bloodreds first emerged onto the market they had a reputation as picky and unreliable feeders, which sometimes failed to thrive. However, they're now as hearty as any other major morph.
So a list of morph problems compiled today, won't necessarily hold water in, say, 5-10 years time.
