    Boacondas??!?!? Are you serious?!?
    Came across these online:
    http://http://www.preloved.co.uk/adv...s-hybrids.html

    I mean they are neat and all but its yet another hybrids are
    A) cool
    B) not cool
    Type of situations.

    What are your opinions?

    Interesting. I wonder if it will have the same affinity to water that anacondas do?

    Your link is broken, btw. http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/sh...s-hybrids.html

    Those look interesting but my general thoughts are that I'm not keen on hybrids. Some look cool (I'm partial to bateaters myself) but I like things pure and think they're better stayed that way. .02

    I would have to pass. I'm not a big fan of hybrid stuff.

    Very cool. I would think a responsible breeder would keep them all for at least a year and a half to monitor growth rates, and to watch for any genetic disorders.

    These have actually been produced before in the past quite a few years back, but I've seen one at the 6'+ size before, they are very neat looking.

    Oh neat. Thanks man. Didn't know that. These babies blew my mind. I would love to see pics of a huge one.

    They look cool. :)

    I personally like some hybrids, but I think people need to be responsible with who they sell too. I don't want to have to start guessing if the snake I am buying is a diluted mutt or pure.

    I'm a big fan of hybrids and those guys are no exception. In fact, I actually saw that thread about a month ago, it's just unfortunate that updates on hybrids are often far and few between. :/

    Im against hybrid... Now becoming house snake addict I'm totally terrified about spiece mispresentation and amount of hybrids on the market especially cape sold as dotted dotted sells as cape and hybrids of both sold as cape or dotted... especially that in house snakes albino gene is transferable to ofsprings... So yea they looks coll and such but I'm against hybrids all the way...

    Well, I don't necessarily think that's purely a Hybrid snake problem? I think that has a lot more to do with the fact that is was widely believed by many that the different species of House Snakes were only various locales/morphs to begin with and then by the time the fact that they were strictly different species there were already too many crossbreeds on the market. All in all, that seems more like a breeder problem than a hybrid problem in my opinion...

    However, there is an increasing amount of interest from breeders who value pure lines in regards to House Snakes so I'm sure in a few more years, we'll have more purebred specimens to choose from.

    Hopefully I going to be one of them at least that's one of my goals. ..
