What is theses?

I vote that it's an angolan X ball hybrid.

As for the drama.. I remember having a debate where someone said "G_d didn't intend for those two sepecies to mate"... I asked "How do you know?" only to be informed that the two source species lived too far apart to make it "practical". I subscribe to the theory that if the two snakes want to "get it on" then let it happen. The best dogs are "mutts" right?

I've seen the Nerd Carpet X Chondro hybrid, it's beautiful. I remember asking one of the guys working the Nerd booth at NARBC last year if the goal was to make "The meanest snake ever" - he just laughed.

Actually the concept that hybrids don't occur in "nature" is a misconception. There have been many studies done on the topic and the research shows that many of them occur in the wild. All you have to do is look at the latest discovery; the Grizzly/Polar bear cross to believe that.

Also, hybrids are thought to be important for many species as an evolutionary tool. What this means is that off-spring produced by two species may actually turn out to be more robust than either parent. This actually makes sense in the evolutionary scheme of things when two strong traits come together from two entirely different species to make a stronger one. There is plenty of inteligent speculation by scientists that hybrids actually become a sperate species after many genrations. Basically what they are saying is that life is a "genetic continum" rather than a state of "self-contained species."

Sure there will be many instances when a weaker species is produced, which will have complications like short life spans or the incapacity to breed. The latter is an anamoly, because the female Mule is reported to be fertile when the sire is a Donkey. The bottom line is that some hybrids will eventually disappear due to their inability to adapt to their surroundings and those that do succeed will continue the process. Darwins theory at its best if you ask me.

You said that continents will never meet and hence those species should never have been made in the first place. I must disagree. The link between the two is us, human beings. Yes, we too are a part of nature as much as we would like to believe that we are not and I do not believe that we are messing with "Mother nature" or playing "God." Hence, through our actions, we are propagating new DNA into the genetic spectrum and continuing natures course.

I have been neutral on the subject for a long time now, and I have finally made up my mind that we do need responsible hybridization for the future. Considering the rate at which forests are being destroyed, lands taken for development, ecosystems ravaged and animals hunted to extinction, I think that hybrids and other closely protected animals may be the only testament to the existence of species other than Human beings.

Natural occuring hybrids are a whole seperate thing. They are naturally occuring and we don't force them to share a cage until they breed. I just think that if there ranges won't over lap in the wild that they shouldn't be together in captivity either. Again, this is my oppinion and my oppinion only. I can't change the way other people look at hybrids and visa versa.

Exactly! I'll drink to that mate :carouse: . If more people agree to disagree over hot button issues instead of ripping arms off and beating each other over the heads with it, it would be a much peaceful world! :colbert2:

OK WOW it have heat pits!! ok know I confused

OK...not to go totally OT again, but:

Now that's just not fair.:frustrate

I had to read Jamies posts :hijackd: I think that deserves the answer about what this is.:D


So.....what is it?:please: :confuzd: :please:
