Hybrid?

[spix14]

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.

While I agree that there should be some sort of organizations put in place to preserve bloodline purity, that wasn't precisely the point I was going for. It kinda seems like there are two camps in the anti-hybrid people, those who are against it because of the "mutt" factor, and those who are against it because it wouldn't happen naturally in the wild. What I was saying, is that the people who say that hybrid breeders shouldn't be playing god, evidently don't care about humans playing god in other respects. You wouldn't be able to buy a husky of any sort, purebred or not, if humans hadn't bred them into existance. So in reality, all the dog breeds out there are around because humans bred wolves into the sort of animals they wanted. I.e, on principle, those who are vehemently against hybrid snakes should be against dogs as well, because they aren't preserving the purity of the wolf bloodline.

Just MHO.

Ladywhipple, Come to think of it, I have that issue and I remember seeing that snake. Haven't seen the annies and the Rbs, though. Seems like it wouldn't be that far of a stretch, though, them being so closely related. It just seems to me that compared with pythons, no one's really done much tinkering with boas.
