 |
I have seen a few breeders selling a bp calling a blurry. Each of these breeders seemed to have a different looking ball for the same morph (if thats what it is). Anyone have any further information on this? Thanks.

From my understanding, it's a newly coined word. The morph (if that's what it is) hasn't been in circulation very long. Nick correct me if I am wrong.

Doesn't look very blurry to me. Looks similar to Mrs. Nesbit to me...at least the way I remember her looking!

I think it's a Normal taken in "soft" light.
Seriously, I have heard of them, but then there are so many "new" morphs out, and some of them are simply the same thing as another with a new name tacked on.
So unless it's very obvious that it's different (visual) then I don't actually pay attention. The top one reminds me of a ghost (without the coloration).

Yes, its not very "impressive", but if there is a super of this type of animal who knows what it could be. Yellow bellies are a good example, they look fairly normal until bred with another of their kind.

I agree, it doesn't look "impressive" but comparing it to a YB may be comparing apples to oranges Why do I think that? Because the YB while not so impressive also does not look fairly normal imo. If one knows that to look for, the YB has definite markings that set it apart from the common normal and from what I have seen..most animals that have a "super form" have a lot of blushing..or something that sets them apart (I am reeeaching here) they don't just look like common normals imo.
This "Blurry" really imo looks like a normal there is no blushing, there is nothing to set it apart and unless it's a het for something...it is a misnomer to say it is a Blurry. I thought it was not an acceptable practice to give morph names to snakes that haven't been proven out? So for this to be called a Blurry is possibly false advertising.
Those breeders with money to burn can afford to waste time and money proving it out, but the common pet keeper or the hobbyist may feel conned if they don't prove out after spending more money than normally charged for a normal?
Who started calling this a Blurry is what I want to know and where did the original Blurry come from and has anyone proven it out? These questions need answers.

Very true, but I must say at least I was comparing fruits with fruits, and not fruits with veggies... lol
