hybridizing dumeril with a redtail?

I was told by somebody selling their dumerils that they can crossbreed with redtails. is this true? i have no intension of it, i just didnt believe it to be possible. im aware of the trans-continent python hybrids, but never boas.

It is possible but retarded.

just like using the word retarded after the 7th grade

Yes, retarded.

Much like making a statement so foolish that only the developmentally disabled are likely to agree.

But I reckon you know more about that than I.

I'm in the seventh grade lol.But i didn't feel like writing anything.

why is it retarded? do the offspring turn out with low survival rate? or are they usually deformed? or do u just disagree with all hybrids in general?

A lot of people don't agree with hybridizing animals, no matter what species they are. They believe its "playing god" or something similar. There are probably other reasons as well.

Personally I'm on the fence about it. On one side I see no problem breeding two snakes with desired traits together as long as it is done responsibly, but on the other I see it as would these snakes breed in the wild? Probably not. So I'm still undecided.

As far as deformities and problems, there is always the risk, but I'm not sure what others have found when breeding these two species together. I'm not sure if its even been done.

I don't agree with hybridizing birdman.
