"Everyone seems to be doing it nowadays because they see the potential of out-breeding."

Crossbreeding doesn't exactly qualify as outbreeding. Since crossbreeding will inevitably decrease the size of the original (pure) gene pool, one could argue that the secundairy effect of crossbreeding would therefore be (an increase of) inbreeding.

"The most important thing though is telling the buyer the exact genetics of the snake they're getting."

Unfortunately, the sellers aren't always that honest.

"Like I said before, the next time I have a question like that I'll post it in the hybrid forum where the thought process is more tolerant and diverse."

And irresponsible. And ignorant.
