Hybrid pythons

actually i'm very interested in how it compares to dog breeding, especially considering the health defects which are prevalent in both :)

Since my green comment since to have been an issue for you let me explain why it was there, the original post was on Hybrid Pythons and no mention of comparison with dog breeding was made, case point

What types are there
I've heard of burmballs (burmese x ball), bateaters (burm x retic), carpalls (carpet x ball)

Can literally any python breed with any python? And with boas?

It's a whole new bizzare world ��

We have had many hybrid discussions in the past that got out of hand, got confusing and had to be split and cleaned up hence my post in green to prevent that

I couldn't help but actually LOL when I saw Eric's "thanks" in green! :D

I don't have a problem with hybrids or even locality crosses as long as the buyer is informed about the animal's lineage. There are plenty of folks who just want a pretty pet and have no interest in breeding their animals.

I do have a problem where critters are advertised as having a 100% "locality" background and they don't, because there are breeders trying to preserve those pure lines and it may not be legal any more to import them.

It came across to me as a humorous way of agreeing to Deb by supporting her use of green. :)

Mod thanks are always in green - just like our names. That's why we post in green when speaking from a Mod perspective versus our own comments. Completely unintentional, but now I totally get what you saw. Ha!
