In all reality though, the natural selection, and genetic drift your mentioning has nothing to do whatsoever with someone throwing silly stuff together on purpose into a plastic tub.

Agreed, but it's their snakes and it's their right. Their only responsiblity is telling the buyer the exact genetic makeup of the snake. If no one buys those types of snakes they'll stop breeding 'silly stuff'. Supply and demand. Now if they're dishonest that's another story.

If I breed two subspecies together, the offspring will STILL be that particular subspecies, whereas someone breeding a Cal. King x Texas rat definitely will NOT, simple as that.

Agreed again, but this discussion was based on corns to rats only.
