    What are the concerns over hybrids? Scaleless corns, for instance, are a very accepted hybrid that is now obtained through scaleless x scaleless or het scaleless pairings.
    Are these other hybrids, and the theee way hybrids, defective? Or too random with their temperament, adult size... like some hybrid dog breeds? Because those snakes in the videos are beautiful.
    I'm not being a jerk, I really want to know what's up with this.
    Thanks

    How can we understand the needs of some of these dramatic Hybrids as the Husbandry needs could be anything in the cross.... Makes for a very tricky care sheet if not impossible to figure out when somthing is wrong/illness ect...

    Mr. Sully, that makes a lot of sense. What are the breeders doing about that? Are these hybrids too new, still in F1 status? Has anyone bred yet for F2, to see if the hybrid stabilizes or destabilizes? While I think the IDEA of these hybrids is very interesting, I would be concerned if it resulted in corrupted offspring. I have a problem fathoming how some people are able to ignore the suffering of living creatures to produce some THING that is damaged or in pain/distress because some person wanted to see what he'd "get."

    Thank you . I saw his photo online years ago and I was instantly smitten but it took about 6 months of pestering the breeder who eventually caved in and sold him to me :)

    He actually gets mixed reactions .... So many LOVE his looks but some feel the exact opposite ... some reactions are based on principle rather than looks though , of course . Maybe some hate his looks but are too nice to say ;)


    Like everything in life it's about personal taste .. I love white snakes / Albinos / and bright coloured ones ( as per my collection ) but some of the new faded / ghost morphs leave me cold as they all look as though they're constant in shed mode or they've been rubbing their heads on something. lol .
