Oh, I totally agree with everything you stated. None of them can ever be taken back, and yes, the "genie" was released long ago. But making more certainly won't help matters any. That is how I look at it.

You are right, at the rate the hobby is going in more recent years, there will be more crosses, both on purpose AND from not knowing any better, or knowing how to identify what they have than ever before. And genuine types of snakes will certainly become more sought after and less common.

I do have to ignore lots of what I see going on around me, but sometimes I still have to voice the good reasons not to do it. As you said though, NOBODY can really stop anyone from doing what they want to do anyway. But if I can ever change just a few opinions on the issue from them reading and really understanding some of the posts regarding it, then it is all good and at least helped some, even if it is a very tiny bit.

In any case though, asking me of ALL people what to cross something with will surely get a response from me, no matter what..LOL!..


cheers, ~Doug
