enough of the SPEWING of ignorance...

hybrids DO OCCUR in the wild and have been documented with MANY sp./ssp. this definatively shows CLOSE relationship. also captive pairings are as UNNATURAL as captive hybrids even wild caught under the same board or area may not have bred when WE(people) decide its unnatural wether same sp./ssp or not and really for snakes that are destined to live their lives in a box what does it matter?

now as to the escape/displaced cb hybrids tainting or ruing wild lines...really?...ok doubtful the cb would survive predation,food,etc. but for giggles lets say it/they did procreate, it/they would be absorbed undesireable traits would die. if i take a cup of red dye out into the ocean does it change the color of the ocean?

as for the lil douggy bought a snake to breed and found it wasnt a pure snake!?!!? are you for real??? well ok perhaps lil douggy shoulda done a lil research on the sp./ssp he was wanting first off along with research where his "stock" came from! this was always such a lame arguement...

geez i understand not liking hybrids but the hating on folks who have and do is pretty lame. ive worked with, studied and bred snakes for close to 30yrs. have locality and other projects and am certainly NOT ignorant when it comes to snakes. do i think purist are ignorant?... NO!!! i think ultimately locality breeding is just a justifiable means/reason for removing them from the wild anyway, i for one feel once thats done they are DEAD anyway! SO!?!?. i also feel taxonomy is WAY off base. these are MY opinions that ive based on MY experience. i am telling noone they are wrong or i am right just stating my views and having fun with my snakes.
