Hybrids

Simple question. What do you think about hybrids and those who keep and breed for them?

I wasn't really sure how to vote on this. There are some crosses that I like and others that I don't care for. I'm not a fan of BP and Blood crosses, but I love GTP and Carpet crosses....

as in like GTP carpet crosses? Or locality crosses like an Aru Merauke cross?

I voted :I do not like hybrids but will do business with those that keep/breed them with one small addition.. only ppl I know and trust..
I'm genetic purists...
Don't trust most ppl who try to mess with that stuff ... and I wanna be sure that snake I'm gonna hatch in the future from snakes i own is a snake i can 100% say is THAT Specie...

I tired for gtp x carpet this year with no success. Will be trying again next year. To me the argument against hybrids has always been pretty weak.

"what if a bad person misrepresents them" ....your letting "bad people" ruin it? so your also against hets, subtle morphs, lucys, ect.?

also the "its not natural" argument.... either is 99% of the pet trade, are you kidding me?

This is for any and all hybrids but I'm mostly talking about crossing things like balls with burms, carpets with gtp, bloods with balls, boas and anacondas, etc.

ahh. I dont mind locality crosses. In fact some of the GTP ones come out amazing looking. however other types of crosses i am a bit undecided on.

i voted "I like hybrids and want to keep them" because of GTP locality crosses.

I love cheynei x viridis crosses and might try for them in the future.

For me it depends on how dramatic.
If their in similar types I don't care ( boidae to boidae)
But I'm against ones like I saw on a local Craigslist of a Bp to a corn.

I didn't think that was possible. Aren't they too different to produce offspring?
