Hey man don't feel bad for asking the question...it was a question. Obviously most do not agree with the idea, and for good reason. But at the end of the day, you will be the one dealing with some baby snakes that, quite possibly, will not not command any higher price than either of the two parents, but more likely than not, even less. And you'll also have all that extra explaining to do when and if you do try to sell them.



As FR and a few others have mentioned, hybrids have been, and will continue to be, around and produced for years. Since some of them (for instance the Pastel king) are very exceptional indeed, I fully understand the logic behind breeding them. Key word: "LOGIC". I have reason to believe the breeders of these "exceptional" hybrids put some thought and consideration into these pairings prior to, and not on a whim. Many hybrids do not meet this "expectation" and subsequently fall by the wayside. The breeder is subsequently left with some babies that no one really wants. Unfortunately for the babies. Then you WILL see these babies being given away for less than $20...substantially less than a individual normal thayeri or sinaloan.



On the other hand, maybe you'll produce some real screamers that sell out fast and you'll decide to continue the same project again. Seems like a gamble to me though. If you're gonna do something like that, don't just throw two different snakes together for the sake of pairing up two opposite genders that you just happened to have. Put some thought into it and produce something like a pastel (thayeri x ruthveni) or like that alb thayeri x nelsoni Mezoic posted. That thing kicks alot of ass.



Good luck!
