Oh my, after I saw that second picture I dove for cover!
Sweet lock ups and those are some big boys you have! I don't really know what the uproar is about this pairing in particularI'm not even sure I understand the debate about hybrids in general. If you don't like them, don't get one. That seems to make sense to me. I don't want a dangerous snake so I don't own a cobra or a retic (dangerous for small children, idiots, and pets), simple as that.
Balls aren't dangerous, they aren't going to make another snake anymore dangerous than it already is so I don't really see the connection between banning balls because of hybrids. Dogs (shepards and huskies specifically) haven't been banned because of wolf hybrids, and somehow wolf hybrids haven't been banned yet either. At least not across the entire US. There are still people breeding them in my hometown.
