Anyone else think that "designer" snakes are overplayed?

After seeing that excellent picture of the natural corn further down I got to thinking about how tired I am of seeing albino and/or designer snakes. Years ago when I saw an albino kingsnake for the first time, I thought it was really cool. The same with the first albino burmese python I saw. It was cool because they were unique and different. Now they're everywhere and it seems like it's getting hard to find natural looking snakes. This is especially true with corns. For every 50 or so "creamsicle" or "candycane" corns out there you might see one or maybe 2 natural ones.

It's not that I haven't found albinos that I've liked (the albino chinese that someone posted a picture of was really striking) I'm just into admiring the natural beauty of an animal more I guess.

note: I have noticed on this particular forum that it seems most people are into natural looking snakes.
