The part I don't get is why are all the "powers that be" railing against something they would never put in their collections in the first place? C'mon, I am a locality breeder and have morphs as well, but I KNOW where I got my locality snakes from because of the small circle of close friends that I choose to buy from, but almost exclusively all my breeders are from w.c. I personally have collected or were present when said snake was caught. You KNOW you wouldn't put one of these snakes or any other in your personal collection without a thorough background check, and wouldn't even consider it if you didn't feel certain it was what it was. In Funky's case, he did identify on a public forum what it was he did and it is out there for the world to see. If you don't want any crosses to be viewed on this forum, I suggest you not praise a lot of snakes here that might be questionable. Otherwise, enjoy what people post if not for the information's sake.
While what he has done may/will or may/will not end up polluting anyone elses gene pool hasn't been proven. Some people will buy these snakes and others won't. If you don't like it, say so and be done with it, this type of rant and name-calling is very juvenile, and even so, Funky, there IS a forum for these guys, maybe it would have been better received there but you have been forthright throughout the whole thing.
Anyone that would buy into a snake of questionable lineage deserves to have their gene pool contaminated, lol!
