I agree. I have no problem with hybrids as long as there's an attempt made to preserve the original species involved (and obviously, with balls, borneos, bloods, burms, etc. there's no shortage of that) and that they should always be indentified as what they are (hybrids) when sold--microchipping is definitely a great idea. Also, I believe that breeding hybrids should be done minimally, and as stated above, not to get out of hand trying to create 75%ers and so forth.
Some of the hybrids out there are really gorgeous! I love the blood/borneo-balls myself--and it's been said about them they seem to be the ideal pet snake--the disposition of a ball with the feeding response of a blood/borneo. The patterns/coloring that have come out on them is really gorgeous.
