The best way to not get your heart broken, is pretending you don't have one.

Lol! I forgot to say I did keep one of them for awhile, but I generally leave what I find in the wild!

Some corn snake babies I hatched out last year. I think I hatched out 11. One was born with only one eye.

The dam of this clutch was a snow and the sire was a normal het for anery. I sold the pair recently though.

As for morphs, I'm generally anti-morph. Most of the stuff I own is normal. The tiger carpet is a morph, but when I bought it I didn't know it was a morph xD

Here are some random snake finds from this year. Northern ring neck snakes, northern water snakes, and a pregnant queen snake.

Wow! Those snakes are (probably?) tame! Here, our native snakes are aggessive as hell! Even the tiny vine snake thrashed and bite when we try to grab one.

They were all pretty calm except for the water snake, which are notorious biters :p

By the way, vine snakes are awesome!!

Here's an eastern hog nose snake I caught last summer. One of my favorite finds of all time. I'm currently working on getting permitted to keep these snakes, which are protected in my state.

Is beautiful! There are certanly a lot of reptiles and amphibians where you live xD

And one question (sorry for the ignorance) but what are morphs and why don't you like them? xD

morphs are catpive-bred variants, like albino and such ifi'm not wrong.
and tbh, a wild animal is way more beautiful.

Furka pretty much explained it correctly. Morphs are genetic variations like albino, anery, hypo, etc. I dislike morphs because of the fact that they are being bred despite the fact that they are genetically deficient. For example, there is a ball python morph called a "spider", which has a neurological condition nick named spider ball syndrome. The snake basically has trouble feeding, and does barrel rolls and all sorts of other crazy things. The snake is essentially mentally retarded, yet people keep breeding them because they are pretty and can create new morphs when bred to another morph. Wild type animals are incredibly beautiful anyway. Plus you can get locality specific animals, which is cool because snake species can vary greatly within there range.

Do you know any morphs that cause similar symptoms in leopard geckos?
