Sweet hybrid hook up

[waltah!]

I do think that it's a cool looking hybrid. As long as they can't be confused or sold incorrectly, I don't have any issues with hybrids. People say it's not natural, but it's also not natural to keep pythons in little tubs on newspaper.

i have recently gotten into hybrids (the idea anyway) and i wish you good luck!

I would love to keep hybrids, along with my pure line snakes one day. Hybrids are interesting animals, you just have to keep em responsibly.

Not gonna hate here.....totally think that this is a waste, but not gonna go there.


My serious question to you...for reals....

Why? To do it just to do it?

What is the purpose of this?

Please, not tryin to hate, just want to know.

I'm with you. Some people seem to think that species shouldnt be mixed b/c they wouldnt in the wild. Why??? its not like we are about to repopulate africa with albino BPs if the wild ones were all wiped out.
IMO All morphs and hybrids are basically dead ends in terms of wild evolution, but if we focus on them maybe the market for wild caught will die off instead of the wild populations getting raped.

my 2cents!!!

People like hybrids for similar reasons that people like specific morphs or specific species. It's about looks, size, shape, personality.. Why do you like kingpin ball pythons?(for example.. not really sure what you're into specifically!) Or albino burms?

I think that the ball x burm hybrid is just about one of the most gorgeous snakes out there. I'm a little less fond of carpet x ball hybrids. The F2 superballs are pretty darn outstanding.

I'm still waiting for the SD retic x ball attempt. IMO that has potential for great colors on top of incredible patterning, all in a snake of manageable size with a fantastic appetite.

Of course my fav. hybrid I've ever seen pics of is the gaboon x rhino viper hybrid.. dear god it's beautiful.

if they were wiped out you wouldnt do that? its been done before with alot of different animals.

i love the burm ball and the wall(womaxball)

Is that a jungle carpet? If so, that would be one time that I know of that cross being tried.

i dont keep hybrids, not that i wouldn't if i wasn't concentrating on a specific animal, but why doens't his simple answer completely get down to the very root of the reason EVERY SINGLE ONE of us is in this? that's a pretty serious answer imo. that's why i do what i do with my money when i buy my bp's. because i like them. even a more juvenile "i think they're cool" or "i want something different" explains why anyone on this forum is so into what they do, in collecting, selective breeding, or in this case, breeding hybrids. poo poo on those who damn someone elses interests. evolution has been made possible by 'mucking up' bloodlines, that's why there is so many breeds to choose from now, he's not mounting a horse, he's breeding two animals close enough in type that they are ABLE to make offspring which in itself explains why it's not so far fetched to think it's so unthinkable to do.
