    So are morphs, to a certain extent, its definitely not natural and is done by man for looks. Personally I think the most beautiful ball python is a NORMAL ball python. But I do like the looks of alot of morphs.

    Here's where I draw my personal line in the sand; BP morphs, while not naturally occuring, are products of the same species of snake. Hybrids are not, and that's why I think they are abominations...at least I stopped short of saying they should all be thrown in the freezer or shot in the head like zombies....oh wait, I guess I didn't stop short

    What you list are BP morphs. Hybrids are two seperate species breed together like a Ball Python and a Blood Python, or a Ball Python and an Angolan Python, or a Ball Python and a three headed goat.

    Re: Thoughts on Hybrids

    my thoughts are this can it happen in nature sure some can and do. would i do it? perhaps one day i have a woma and i think that cross is hot. will i ever sell one if i did make one? sure if the person wants a hybrid and understands the point stressed about breeding. i do believe they should be chipped, like wolfy said some cannot be chipped unless they are adults.
