hybrids

[southb]

I know some cornsnake morphs are hybrids but has anyone ever done a corn/pine/bull hybrid? I was planning to pick up my first bull this weekend and I have some corns already so I thought that might be neat if you could.

ask on hybrid haven......you'll get better responses!

Yeah I should have figured that lol. I understand some people have a problem with it but if thats the case they shouldn't read it and ignore it for good. As long as the animals are being sold as hybrids and not being passed as something else and the animal is healthy I don't see a problem with it.

i agree fully....never herd of the cross BTW.

And therein lies the problem. You can't guarantee the animal will be always sold or exchanged as a hybrid. Saying you can is denial.

Bulls and Pines aren't Colubrids so is that even possible?

So you saying if your at a show and have your table set up you couldn't sell the same person a stp and a ball for fear that they may breed the two together? I don't see this at all. Maybe i'm in denial like you say but maybe it's not about either right or wrong it's just a difference of opinon?

i think she means down the road. if you sell it as a hybrid to someone and they breed it and sell it as a non hybrid it becomes a problem.

So you are telling me that you can guarantee that the person that will buy your hybrid won’t breed it and if they do so they will label it as such, and you can also guarantee that the customer of the customer of your customer will do so as well and that no one down the road will buy something they think is pure but in fact is a mutt?

Can you?

Oh yeah, then I agree.....but when I sell I burm or retic I also think that it won't be released into the wild either. You can't help when people do after it's sold. I have signs up about releasing into the wild being wrong and bad for the environment. You can only do so much.

Heck I work at a gun store as well and you can only do so much to keep guns from getting to crimals but what happens when you sell a gun to a guy and he needs some money ten years later and sells it to his friend. The friend sells it to a collector and then blah blah who knows and it gets into the wrong hands? That doesn't mean handguns should be outlawed.
