I will never understand some peoples disdain for the Hybrid Forum and those who have an interest in this subject. It is true that this is considered the “dark side” by those, what, I guess they are “purists”. I can understand when they check out this forum (and they do...) and there’s a post asking about crossing a rattlesnake with a python or some such stupidity. I roll my eyes too and ignore those, as I’m sure most of us do. But I am very interested in things like borrowing the leucistic gene from the Texas Rat to perhaps bring it into a king. Or create, through selective breeding even if it means hybridizing, a solid red, orange, yellow or blue where it does not exist now. What I find far more ridiculous are these so called purists that are trying to produce a black Emerald Tree Boa, a Brazillian Rainbow Boa without the red, tri-color king “snow” or pie bald Indigo. What is the point of mucking up a gorgeous green Emerald Tree Boa? Or taking the red out of a tri-color King? They would think it more ridiculous to try to produce a Brazilian with the green of an Emerald. But wouldn’t that be more beautiful than a black freakin “pure” Emerald Tree Boa?
