Well all i can say is the only thing you would be doing is possibly "polluting pure breds" as some BCI guys would say when questioned about hybrids. Point is, if you sell one of those snakes that ever comes from the breeding its out to the public and can easily be mistaken as something its not now. In my eyes if you put a peruvian in front of someone who is only breifly educated on rainbow boa's 9 out of 10 times they will just say that its a BRB. So lets say someone like that gets ahold of your peru/braz hybrid well then your snake will forever be known as a BRB and if it ends up being bred thats just a whole line of snakes claimed to be BRB's that ar not actually BRB's and have the possibility of "polluting" other breeders "pure" lines.

Trust me I have thought of the cool possibilities of hybrids and some would really be cool, but why breed two snakes that are so much alike that could cause so much future confusion? You wouldnt be gaining anything from it. I understand the BPxBurm because you get a HUGE bp looking snake (and some people want that), and i understand RTBxCONDA but PRBxBRB theres no benefiting anyone except for yourself $ wise. Not that that its wrong to make money but look what you can be doing for the future of breeding and the hobby.
