    Only problem with hybrids is that if we show the people of congress that a Burm can mate with a retic and ball python, they will come to even more false "conclusions" causing the reptile nation to be even worse shape with legal issues than it is now.

    Don't get me wrong I love the Bateater but it will just help the haters keep on hating

    And most if not all Hybrids in reptiles come from sub species from parts of the world they would never come across one another in the wild. :gj:

VERY likely. It's just that no one has managed to complete any experiments to prove it. If anyone is working on this at all, it would be in secret, away from public censure, as it's not likely to be a very popular line of research. People get really uptight when you try to erase the artificial line between humans and other species.

    If you think about it, what would the problem be? The offspring wouldn't be human, sure, but we are starting to lean toward granting great apes special rights anyhow. The being itself would probably not have any serious issues...it would just force people to think really hard. I think it would be good for them to have to think really hard.


    actually someone already tried this, Joseph Stalin. it didnt work

    Actually, he didn't go about it properly, and it hasn't been tried with bonobos or chimps at all (more closely related to us than gorillas).
