Advice needed on the rarer morphs. Is the market for these rarer morphs ultra competitive or it more laid back.
Im wanting female lavender stripes for instance, is it the case that if i wait untill april/may time there will loads available or do i need to be in first with high offers or risk missing out.
I was hoping that if i waited untill doncaster show there would be some bargains or is it that they generally the same price at the show as they would be any other time?
Maybe the expert morph finders wont share thier secrets but its worth a try |

That looks like a vanishing stripe, but not a lavender, it looks very much like a white oaks rat, but with a corn head!
As for morphs, lavender stripes are not as rare as they used to be, there are a lot about, i can point you in the direction of someonw i know will have some for sale, amongst other things. To be honest, if you can find some now then go for it, there isnt going to be much of a price difference, once the season kicks off there are going to be loads about. The market in corns has kinda fallen out the last couple of months, some of the more expensive snakes are quite cheap now. A blizzard can go from anywhere from 60 quid, to mine which i sold for 150, a lot of people are producing snakes, not really understanding the effort thats gone into creating them and selling them very cheap, just to get shot and make a couple of quid.
If you are patient, and scour the ads, both here and other forums, you will find some good deals, just beware of hets, only buy hets if you are certain that they are honest people, there are too many made up hets about. If you want a Lav stripe, at least buy lav het stripes, that way even if it turns out to not be het, its not all lost, but also, bear in mind, just because its a 100% het, that doesnt mean you are guaranteed to actually get one out in a clutch.
Bloodred is a good one to put into lavender, and hypo too, you will get normal babies, but they are het for lav, bloodred and hypo, but then you have a chance of hypo lavender bloodreds, which are lovely, and still command a decent price.
There is no expertise in finding morphs, its just case of looking and finding the right one.
Understanding the way the genetics work is paramount if you want to make something with your breeding, if you dont know where you are starting, then where are you gonna end up?
If you dont understand them, or what a brush up, then just say and i can explain a little for you.

Thanks for great reply Mike and everyone else.
I'll continue to look out for Lavender Stripes and other stripe morphs as above everything else i think they look the best.
Please can you point me in the direction of "other forums", ads or tell me who might have a lavender stripe female "hatchlings". PM or email me may be best as not sure if posting other site links is allowed.
Trying to not get over stocked before Doncaster as i'm looking forward to snake shopping there, but it is so far away.
Whats the chances of finding a 100% lavender stripe? |

| There is another reptile forum, google that, and ye shall have the answer soon enough. There is guy called Nigel, who breeds corns, his username is cornmorphs, i have asked him about this snake, and he doesnt know! There are also a few others on there that are gonna have lav stripes, and hypo lav stripes. I would imagine hypo bloodred lavs will be about shortly too! |

Where is the pic of the unknown snake from? Its entirely possible its a new morph in america, in which case it will be near on impossible to get without parting with silly money.
Also importing from america is not worth it for a single snake.
I was quoted by Kathy Love for importing 1 snake was in the region of 600 quid, including taxes, bear in mind though, if you import 600 snakes, its about the same! |
