Actually Thomas I have tried to stay out of the Hybrid debates. I have mixed feelings. My collection is not hybrid free either so I can't throw any stones. My real problem with a hybrid project like the one you mentioned with the MBK and te WS florida is all the in between animals that will be produced before you get your target animal. I have done it before and I know some animals will look enough like Floridana that they may be easily mistaken as Floridana, and some will look so much like Nigritus that they may be mistaken for that. If you could breed a Nigritus and a WS Florida and gett instant WS black snakes, then there would not be so much baggage that gets created in the process. I do enjoy a great looking snake even if it's a hybrid, but then I can also appreciate the opinion of those who don't want to continue to muddy the waters of the hobby in general. So here I sit with the fence chaffing my cheeks, lol!
