Are some morphs over hyped?

Two over hyped morphs I can think of would be bananas sorry banana lovers, but I can’t stand them. Hateeeee those ugly black freckles they get. Another one for me personally I can’t stand would be axanthics. I think they look horrible. Look great as babies with those awesome greys. Unfortunately it doesn’t stay most turn into brown blobs.

Gotta invest in your genetics so you hopefully get ones that don’t. But I know what you mean many are unrecognizable

Its all about what you put with it, regular axanthics aren’t that great looking but it can look amazing in certain combos. Same for bananas, I find that Enchi and lesser almost completely reduce the freckles. Im not a fan of the freckling either.
Here’s my lesser banana, He’s over a year old and I have yet to see a single one on him.
He’s from a lesser x banana pastel enchi pairing

Get out. :broken_heart:

LOL

I will say I was hoping Penny would develop freckles but he hasn’t yet. When I picked him up at NARBC the other bananas with him in the display case had freckles, but Penny was the most active and so I wanted to see him. I didn’t know Banana and CG, at the time, were the same gene just different lines of it.

:joy::joy::joy::joy: I said I’m sorry banana lovers. I can’t stand those freckles. To me they look like ticks or fleas. They just give off that dirty appearance. Anyone that knows me knows I appreciate and love clean clean animals. No unnecessary marks or spots. Reduced pattern and no freckles lolol. Axanthics I have yet to find an adult I’m remotely interested in or appreciate as an adult.

Sk and MJ don’t brown out as much like VPI does and JD Constrictors does some AMAZING stuff with it…if you havent checked it out already you should

I have seen all the lines brown out but it’s what we talk about all the time. QUALITY.
Get quality examples of the morph and they will age well. No different than getting a good pastel as opposed to a bad one right?

I feel personally attacked :blush: both of them morphs are high up my list with banana being in my top 5. I love them freckles. But you are right, both of them only look good as babies, and as I’ve not owned either yet I rarely see adults that remind me of how ugly the do get.

Interesting/funny story… RDR was offered the first Banana out of Africa but when he looked at the picture the exporter sent him he thought it just looked like a tick-infested Caramel and so he passed on it.
.

Interestingly enough, VPI used to be the gold-standard for Axanthics until…
.

JD Constrictors started selectively breeding for cleaner, more stable examples from TSK-line. And now the tables have flipped because of the work John has done. Which highlights well what crawd is saying - If you work your projects right, you can get pretty exceptional examples for most morphs.

I think freeway and highway are overrated. I liked them at first, but they are still pretty over hyped.
