Your being a bit naive. Point was/is we have set a know pattern in this hobby. Stuff gets away. And hybrids will surely follow this pattern. And a vigorous corn/king hybrid could have a huge impact. I believe it was you that said they eat better. Kings like other snakes. I live in a tiny pocket of Massasauga's. That could change quickly if there was a few escapes. Or a local wholesaler lose a box of snakes. A lot of herps and other animals are on such a delicate edge as it is, they do not need to be pushed.





>>ok you made the same point i did in a different post lol!

>>reptiles in general have raised heck in florida. look at cane toads in australia. so you do have a valid point about feral animals in general, and this does reflect on hybrids BUT, if my corn got out it would cause the same impact(if any,but i dont think so) on the local black rat population(the only snake able to breed with them), ................................................................................so wether or not it was a hybrid it would have the same impact. so in order to solve that issue we should just own what is local to our own area .........................well we all know this will not work, so why are hybrids any different?
