I've never been one to tell people not to breed hybrids or morphs or whatever they want. But there are consequences and you mentioned on of them, the thayeri of today look nothing like the ones you guys collected from the wild. That is more due to selectively breeding for bright colors but it illustrates well what can happen to any species or subspecies. The consequences of hybridization and crossings are that hypothetically we could end up with just a few generic forms of colubrid-esque snakes, ie generic tricolr form, generic banded form, generic blotched form and generic striped form. ----- www.hcu-tx.org/
