Well, actually that was a great point, because many of the large breeders(and of course, many small ones too) only care about "making" snakes to sell for the "almighty" dollar, that is their ONLY objective. So they many times try to have a very broad array of snakes to appeal to more of the masses out there, and this would many times certainly include hybrids too.
Over the many years I've been involved with snakes, the fact that someone is a big breeder, or owns lots of animals doesn't necessarily mean they know much(if anything) about their snake's natural history at all, but rather it simply means they know how to produce snakes to sell.
Of course on the other side of the coin, there are many people that aren't anywhere near as well known in the hobby that have a VAST amount of snake knowledge, as well as totally different moral, and/or ethic standards too. There are also a good number that do not care for hybrids whatsoever, or condone the production of hybrids either, as this would only seem logical too, and of course, I would certainly fall into this category of people.
Anyway, these are just some of the observations that I have seen over the course of many years.
