Dogs have organizations to make sure that if someone wants to buy a purebred Siberian husky or what have you, you can be sure you are getting exactly that. The reptile industry doesn't have anything in place that someone who wants to buy a pure amelanistic corn snake will get a pure corn snake. That's the main difference here. It's not so much making or owning a hybrid snake, it's irresponsible people who misrepresent them or are too ignorant about what they actually have, and muddy up pure lines to the point where you don't know what you're buying. Just look at a lot of the carpet pythons, cornsnakes, etc. And for the record, I'm not a huge dog person, but once I have enough land and free time I plan to get a dingo.![]()
