It is a touchy subject, because of the folks that knowingly create hybrids in order to make a new morph for their "pure" animals. A little honesty and this wouldn't be the big deal that it is.

Totally agree. I am glad there are purists out there, I just hope they are keeping their stock outcrossed with animals from the wild too. Inbreeding will be just as much a danger to them as a hybrid.

I don't want to see a day when all these snakes are hybrids, but I would like to see the day that they don't get looked down on either. I think there is room for both hybrids and pure animals without one being considered "less".
