    You do realize that squamate hybrids occur in nature? So how does that fit into the whole "natural history"
    aspect?

    Let's start with:

    Pituophis Catenifer Sayi X Pantherophis Vulpinis

    Crotalus Horridus X Sisturus Catenatus


    Are we frowning on those as well?

    Unfortunately, I cannot find any scientific evidence supporting snakes of the same species with known physiological abnormalities breeding (in the wild) with the sole purpose of creating aesthetically pleasing and financially profitable offspring.
