So you are agreeing that as long as everyone accepts they are pure it's cool to say they are? I guess its all pride in ownership?? Personally I am not a name brand kind of person. I likes what I likes and if it functions well I could care less about all the advertising, brand loyalty and made in the USA poo-poo.



Does anyone have a clue how many well respected breeders (who touted anti-hybrids sentimants) were really doing closet hybridization and made a fortune off those snakes in the early to late 80's. Same thing with the 90's.



Today we have those same breeders who openly sell hybrids. the market came down so low on colubrids that its all about the prettiest snake sells. There is no market for pure normals because there is nothing new about them. Unless you come up with a new normal there is no market.HA HA!





At least there is a positive today. We have honest herpers who differentiate the hybrids and "so called" pure and represent them honestly. I beleive that people in todays market are TRYING to keep that part honest. What you might not have realized is the top secret closet type hybrids and backbreeding that is considered the real deal "pure" animals you have today in your rubber tubs is whats really screwing things up. ...that is if you really care? Otherwise this nonsense about purity is just silly endless chit chat.
