because folks didn't ask questions. Right now there are snakes (hybrids) on the classifieds that are mis-labeled, and the poor guy probably wonders why he can't sell his "thayeri"



well the breeders that WANT TO are going to keep track and when someone asks where they got the animals they will have no problem telling and showing photos.



It's a shame that's what it has come to, but as you say, "IT IS WHAT IT IS".



There are without a doubt some lines that were not compromised and if we aim to keep it that way that is what it will take.



BY ALL MEANS ASK FOR OPINIONS, but please understand that an opinion is just that, an opinion and not proof of hybridization.



Also there's a huge difference between answering someone when they ASK for an opinion, and just plain calling someone out, out of the blue. Everyone has animals they can't trace, but that is not proof that they have been compromised.
