CoastalxJungle?

[zackw419]

Hey, I'm going to be getting a carpet python this weekend at the petstore I work at and they have Coastal, Jungles and 1 CoastalxJungle babies. For some reason I really want the CoastalxJungle cross.

I was wondering, is there any reason not to get a hybrid carpet python?

What are you alls thoughts on Hybrids?

If anyone has has a CoastalxJungle I would like to hear more about them.

the 'bad' thing about them is when they get misrepresented as one or the other or the lineage info gets lost in the shuffle and they get bred back to a coastal or jungle.

think of it like having pure pitbulls, but someone gets a boxer x pit that they think looks really cool, then they pollute the breeding lines with the mixed breed.

from a 'pet' standpoint though, they are just as nice (maybe nicer) that anything else.

by the way, i see you have a boxer/lab - i didn't mean any offense by the analogy!

Lol, Its all good man. I didn't even notice

Oh, and by the way..

I ended up getting a full blood jungle instead. The coastal cross was a female and Im not sure I'm ready for the size.

Watch where you word that. Purity debate is a huge deal to some people.
Pictures are needed of this new pick up.

We gonna see photographs?

David, you one of those people?

I'm here for pretty animals. Couldn't care less, except for a very nice carpet. IE: If my jungle jag was actually a coastal.... ect. If you pay a lot, you really need to be getting what you pay for. If you're into it for just a pet then whatever you pick up is great, as long as it's nice to you.

Yeah I agree completely David.

I know my Jungle must have some diamond in there... ah well, he looks like a Jungle!
