So all the other mediocre looking or normal looking carpets are not quality? Even if they are healthy animals that are able to reproduce? And would you say that the carpets in the wild, who look nothing like their captive counterparts are not quality animals? Again, it's how people define quality.

in the carpet world i have found these people do it for the passion and glory/pride of saying...look at this amazing looking Carpet ive produced,they do it out of their passion to create a great looking snake,not the money as they usually keep most of the best lookers for their own collections

And what do they do with them? They breed them to make money.
This is what I'm talking about. I hope this mentality doesn't plague other species. Can you imagine people collecting "Designer" monitors and stuffing them in boxes for breeding purposes instead of appreciating it's natural beauty? Why get 10 and put them in small enclosures when you can get 1 and give it a big enclosures? Trust me it's to breed and make money. Pride and glory for breeding good looking snakes? How about pride and glory for not being so vain? That would be a much more admirable cause.

You forgot to put "imo" infront of this statement. There are many members here who don't have "designer" carpets and are just fine with their acquisitions
