good points. I disagree about the worth, however. For me, and I only speak for myself, pure is always worth more, always. There is no way to tell what has been crossed with what at this point. There are too many out there and almost no way to get DNA and who will spend money on it. People are buying them now with a verbal guarantee from the seller. The registry book is a good idea but even then some of the breeders cant say with 100% what there animals are. What breeders do you include and who do you exclude. Some guy has a blue hybrid that includes what he thinks is this or that and he gets a really blue female from a seller but doesnt know whats really in it and then breeds them, he has no idea what % of what species is in his cyclura. Zoos couldnt even figure out what was hybrid or pure. I just dont think it is realistic. I wish it was done a long time ago so we do in fact know and that they were a bit more expensive.
