I think you hit the nail on the head with your post. I feel many breeders/hobbyist have NO CLUE of the natural history behind the animals they love and work with. Their concept of herping is to puruse the magnitudes of little deli cups and acrylic showcases at the herp shows. I dont think it lessens their love of the actual animals or their aspect of the hobby, but it does leave a void with respect to other aspects of the hobby they just dont understand. Same with their understanding of genetics. They dont understand the genetic aspect enough to question. They look at things phenotypically, and dont understand things genotypically. IMO, if they cross a corn with a king they label the babies that look like a cross hybrids, the ones that look like corns as corns, and the ones that look like kings as kings.
