So your point would be to condone producing whatever puts a couple more bucks in your pocket,...right?............gotcha!



Please get off of the "pure" thing too. Everyone here knows full-well that snakes or any other animals are not "pure" like a virgin laboratory chemical compound is. But they are an authentic meristic phenotype. I don't see a need to go around in circles with this though. I can plainly see that it doesn't matter to alot of folks what their crossed hodge-podge snakes later get misrepresented as down the road. This has always been my point. It's for future thought, not about what kind of unrelated cross I can dream up to drop a few bucks in my pocket.



BTW,....exactly who would pay more for what cross?, you mean the people that only think about the aesthetic colors and patterns, but care nothing at all about any of the separate types that were used to create the crossed animal?. Or care about what it might be bred with later when they are sold, very likely misrepresented and misidentified?



Sort of hard to misrepresent an Outer Banks king, isn't it?. It's pretty doubtful some shmuck threw in a "puebla-corn" in a tub to create these anyway..LOL!



Something like a genuine Outer Banks kingsnake will ALWAYS be a thousand times more revered to me than say an Eastern king x floridana x Cal. king x "goobers and raisinettes", het for "atomic fussion purple mushroom cloud" any day of the week.



Sure, I ain't gonna stop anyone from crossing those so-called "cool" snakes, but if a few people are debating it and are basically undecided about it, and read some of what is said and decide against doing it, then all is good in my opinion. That is also what Terry Dunham was trying to get across too..





cheers, ~Doug
