Lets talk HYBRIDS (friendly debate only please)

[MikeV]

Okay guys. Well I was thinking about hybrids and decided to do some research

I found out, I really like hybrids! And im not as opposed to them as I use to be. I found some that were so amazingly gorgeous that I just couldnt say no to them

but I want to know, what do you guys think?

Im not talking about hybrids that look similar to thier pure parents, Im talking hubrids that are so obvious, that they could never be sold as a "pure"

im talking something like a carpondro or a Superboa, BoaConda, super ball

I couldnt find a list for boas, but I listed two so thats good enough

I love hybrids, but I dont think I would ever produce one. I would own one though

What do you guys think?


Please keep the conversation clean and friendly please, I dont want this going to the QT forum.

To sum it up, Im just curious what your opinion is on hybrids.
