Rock talk: a friend of mine who has been working with snakes for many years had(still has, i believe) a medium to big rock, about 13 feet or so, and a much bigger retic(maybe close to 19'). He got them in the same cage one day and guess what happened? the rock python wrapped the retic hard breaking it's spine and killing her. The poor retic stood no chance. Do you sense any territory protection from rocks when another species is introduced in the cage?

Another thing: the indian/burm hybrids. Let's just say that i'm on your side there, but it's a tricky issue and i rather keep out. You are right to say that we don't have the right to mess with a species genetic purity, but since we ain't gods and can't account for any divine intentions, we also have no right to protect such purity. Often we speak of animals as outsiders and forget that Homo Sapiens is an animal species as well...get the point!?? abruptly it brings a new light into the subject, a scary one, right? What would you call someone who believes that the different human localities should be keept pure and never crossbreed? A new Hitler, perhaps...

So i just keep out of that tricky subject.

Anyway, keep on with the rock talk...
