"so if we don't follow YOUR beliefs and ideals we are ingnorant and irresponsible?"
Right. Sure. Whatever.
That's not what I said, nor what I meant. Allow me to elaborate on this. What bothers me most about hybrid breeders is this complete disregard for natural history. I sometimes frequent the hybrid forum and see a lot questions like "can it be done" or "has it been done". A lot of these questions are actually quite stupid, for instance when it concerns snakes with different chromosome numbers or even snakes from different families. From what I've seen, most hybrid breeders don't know the first thing about animal systematics or even basic genetics. Hence the "ignorant" part. I also visit some reptile shows every now and then, where I quite often see mislabeled hybrids on the tables. Of course I can't tell if the seller is aware of them being hybrids or not, but I'm quite sure that he just wants to make the sale, regardless. Hence the "irresponsible" part.
"we'll if I am in conflict with YOU, I take that as a compliment
thank you very much"
You're over reacting. As far as I'm concerned, we don't have a conflict. We're having a discussion. And it's not like I don't understand. I do, really. Curiosity is what drives most (if not all) of us. But just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
