interesting read on the tessera over at cs.com for sure.

and i remember that 25% pueblan "newport" - i remember it came from a well known hybridizer too (although i can't remember which one for the life of me). and while i think he has every right to work with whatever he chooses, i also think there's a larger moral obligation to not sell animals like that.

there's already enough "i have a male california king and a female mexican black king, what do you think their offspring will look like?" people out there. so to allow a snake that will clearly be misrepresented later on, when the novelty of owning a snake/hybrid wears off for those who weren't prepared to keep an animal that lives upward of two decades, is just unconscionable.

just tossing a couple of cents in there

i work with tri-colored west mexican lampropeltis. some morph, some hobby, and some locale.

everyone is entitled to their options, but no one's opinion will ever change how i feel about the snakes i keep and breed.
