There are probably as many people who are as passionate about locality pure animals as there are people who are passionate about hybrids. I see them as two extreme ends of the snake keeping hobby as a whole.
Exactly how do the genetics work with hybrids like carpets and balls? Both have different body structures, and one gets much larger but is not as thick in proportion body wise as the ball.
I'm going to assume all babies are sterile as well?
