Still does not making odd coloured, un-natural oddities, right. I have yet to hear a reasonable answer to this question (...)
@One eyed already gave you a reasonable answer; some people like morphs and are willing to pay for them. Furthermore, people have been breeding selectively for "oddities" since the earliest beginnings of animal husbandry and agriculture, leading to our current domestic animal breeds and plant cultivars. From an ethical point of view, this can be a mixed bag indeed, especially in regard to inbreeding depression and what the Germans quite fittingly call "Qualzuchten" (i.e. "agony breeds", such as highly brachycephalic dog breeds or "featherduster" budgies). However, I can also understand why people find certain morphs aesthetically pleasing, like the aforementioned amelanistic red-bellied black snake or leucistic monocled cobras. Doesn't mean that I have tp keep them, though.
@One eyed Indeed, my female is a great joy to work with; I've added elements of behavioral enrichment to her husbandry, which she appears to appreciate. You can see a video of her using a wooden hamster maze on the Instagram and FB account of my exhibition. If you are willing to share a picture of your morph (also via PM, if you prefer), I'd be most delighted.
You can find a list of the species I keep for my exhibition at the "How to found a zoo" thread or at Zootierliste if you search for "Welt der Gifte". As for elapids, next to the Inland taipan, I currently keep a cape cobra and a cape coral snake; I've donated the female Indochinese spitting cobra to my assistent. An adult male eastern gaboon viper is also among the animals I keep and is quite a crowd pleaser; his nickname is "Bud Spencer".
Bothriechis schlegeli are quite easy to obtain in the European reptile trade;
Atheris sp. and certain East & South African
Bitis sp. are currently "the" thing, next to more obscure species such as
Pseudocerastes urarachonides. Boomslangs can be viciously fast and quite a handful, but I understand why you like the coloration of some specimens. King cobras can be great display animals, but I have only seen very few institutions that offer them the husbandry they truly deserve.
For most poisonous plants, you don't need to put them behind glass; just make sure that visitors keep their distance.
You don't know a lot of reptile people, do you? Some of them are willing to sell a kidney (or two ^^) to get their hands on the latest, most obscure colour morph. And a lot of other animal fanciers aren't any different; blue merle French bulldogs are the latest craze these days. As if those poor dogs were not already riddled enough with hereditary issues. Or "designer dog" - i.e. how to make a lot of money out of mutts.
