In my opinion diamond/jungle crosses are the most beautiful snakes I have seen. I have never owned reptiles to make money or start a business, I just like having them. I own two "75%" diamonds and they are gorgeous, great animals. There is absolutely nothing from stopping a serious herpetoculturist from breeding only pure diamonds, so why try and impose restrictions on those who love the intergrades? I don't buy the arguments about health of the animal, because intergrades seem to have more robust health. The fact is, most pets nowadays (of any species) are results of some type of cross/inbreeding. There are enough 100% diamonds around for those who want only the pure bred animals, so just enjoy yourself and don't fret about those of us who don't take offense with the intergrade. Here is a picture of my 2 year old male...enjoy!(I hope)
