Hi Jared and everyone,
I feel strongly about not crossing the sub species but I understand why people would want to do it. I can only hope that no matter the reason we (herpers) do not misrepresent any animals for the sake of a sale, unfortunately the dollar brings out the worst in people. I agree with Warren on a microchip or picture system that way only the honest would participate and the consumer will know who to buy from. As far as it being called "old school" that is just a label used to allow others to justify doing something different, and I can say that has promoted the hobby tremendously. So I don't agree with just putting snakes together because it would be a shame for them not pass on their gene's, I defend the right to do it.
