    I tend to agree with hybrids being ok. Especially when its something clearly identifiable like the superball. I can see where people wouldn't like it when you look at some of the colubrids it can be hard to tell the difference especially when people don't really know alot about the animals. However, I think that it the hybrid is clearly identifiable and label what it is then why not? As long as people are responsible and it is the breeders job to make sure he labels his snakes correctly

    Its cool looking for sure. I dont think any species is just a mean species. Just like any other creature u treat it well and it most likely wont hate u lol. there are very few "natural" ball python color morphs in the wild either so im not sure why people have such a fuss over hybrids. all species will evolve and who are we to say it isnt "natural"

    Bloods are not mean. If you have a mean snake, it's your fault.

    Hybrids are produced by taking two $50 snakes and producing $2000 ones. There's no other reason than that.

    Not all bloods are mean. Bloods are amazing creatures. Ive had mean ball pythons. Ball pythons don't eat and are boring as hell.
    Besides. The superball started out as a Borneo x ball. Not blood. But hey.
    I agree 100% .....go Borneos and Bloods !!
    BORNEOS BABY, JUST BORNEOS.

    ^^^

    I don't think this stuff is necessary--it's way off topic. To each their own in regards to which type of snake they like keeping. I have pissy pythons and pissy colubrids. I have boring pythons and boring colubrids. I have ACTIVE pythons (yes, active BPs) and ACTIVE colubrids. No point in stereotyping or bashing these creatures....they are all amazing (IMHO). Now back to the OP's question.

    I enjoy looking at hybrids; I'll never produce one, nor keep one, but they are a marvel.

    I agree that they are way over priced, it may take years to make but thats because you wanted to. There is no reason to give hybrids the price tags they have other than greediness. I also agree that mean snakes are mean because of owners and/or not being worked with.

    At least the price tag limits the amount made. Would you like them cheaper so you see MORE of them? I'd prefer hybrids stay a little rarer, so there is less of a chance of them mixing with the population. Some of them are not sterile, there are some hybrids of hybrids. If they stay as a rare oddity the people who want them will buy them and that's it. You won't see these at shows or anything.

    Hybrids don't bother me as long as it's not something that can be passed off as a pure animal. Nobody would mistake a carpball for a normal ball or a Carpet so it doesn't bother me.

    Also, bloods aren't mean snakes. Some snakes get a rep for being "mean" such as bloods and retics. Retics aren't mean, they're just intelligent and know how to test their/your boundaries. Bloods are more shy than mean most of the time and often are kind of like super fat ball pythons who don't poop as often.
