Yes, but if folks had a bunch of ball pythons that might be hybrids...what difference would that make?
Would it make them worse pets?
Would it make them less attractive?

These are pet snakes, and they'll always be pet snakes. Designing them to be better suited as pets is good for them, as well as us. (Honestly, most reptile breeders need to wake up and start selecting for temperament).

I share your uneasiness with hybrids, don't get me wrong...but I also recognize that it's not entirely rational.
