"I love to see people getting their panties in a bunch over the silliest things"



What is so "silly" about you portraying that it is a Pinesnake when you know it clearly a man-made cross that you yourself produced?. Is a Florida kingsnake purposely crossed by someone with an Eastern Kingsnake still a genuine Florida kingsnake?..LOL!



"Can't we all just enjoy the pretty colors?"



That is exactly why there are so many horribly muddied-up hodge-podges of countless bloodlines of just about every kind of snake you could possibly imagine now in todays hobby. It's because too many people only care about "enjoying the pretty colors" and patterns, but don't give two craps about keeping a snake's specific, or subspecific integrity intact at all.



The very LEAST you could do is drop the "Pinesnake" from the title and call it exactly what it is. You know full freakin well that people immediately down the line are going to be "thinking" it is some sort of unique "Pinesnake" and passing along the "Pinesnake" part of the name right along with all the countless babies that are ever produced from them as well. Knowingly portraying that it is indeed a true Pinesnake when you know full well it isn't is what is called deceit in my book.



THAT my friend is what gets people's "panties in a bunch"!



Save the silly pseudo-justifications for someone that doesn't know any better. After all, that is the whole idea anyway, right?
