Hello Wyatt–
I know there’s little point in arguing that screwing up the bloodlines of the Angolan python is something we could have done without. I realize there will always be people who want to hybridize just because they CAN. Generally, the profit principal wins out. But…..Soon enough you and the others doing this will be producing more, probably breeding them back to Angolans, probably breeding them to each other and anything else that might produce eggs. Now….we all know pure Angolans will become more available in a few years through captive breeding. Why would anyone then trust that any “Angolan” purchased from someone producing these hybrids is actually a true Angolan python and not one of the products of this experimentation?
Please note that I refrained from using any pejorative terms like bastard, bastardized, mongrel or mutt. Oops!
-Joan
