Yeah it's an adult that I was looking at, but it has a lot of black tipping, or "newspapering". I probably won't buy that one.

Regarding the hybridizing, which was not the intended topic of this thread..... I already have hybrids, Florida x Honduran. The breeder of those suggested crossing them to Pueblans, since Pueblans often make nice looking hybrids.

I do understand the argument against hybrids. However, 99% of breeders out there are not hybridizing, they are line breeding or crossing with other blood of the same sub species. I don't think it's quite the crisis that some people make it out to be. Obviously there is the potential for a hybrid to be unknowingly bred down the line, but there's just as good a chance that people will know they're hybrids and not try to pass them off as pure lines.

In any event, I was not looking to open an argument about the ethics of hybrids, so let's not turn this thread into that. Thank you.
