should be. I agree with most, many of the natural colors of these animals are far prettier then the morphs. If you have seen one albino, you have just about seen them all!! :>) But on the other hand, you have to admit that it has really helped in lowering prices for natural colored animals. What is really strange though, alot of folks really don't understand what a okeetee corn snake is. I see them advertised all the time knowing darn well, the snake is NOT from that part of South Carolina. A few years back I was at a reptile dealership in Ft Myers and this guy came in with a bag of corn snakes to sell to the dealership. As they removed the snakes from the bag they labeled them "miami phase", "okeetee phase", etc. I asked the guy where he found them and they all came from around his house in Ft Myers! Personally, I thought that was somewhat deceiving, but none the less common practice in the trade.
