First off, not all Corn breeders have this attitude. Some prefer pure but work with crosses and make a serious effort to be honest about the snakes they're selling. I am one of them and I know others as well. You have a point for sure, but it is more so to the fact that it is not only the Creamsicles....but many other things including Kings and Milks that somehow produced offspring very much so resembling Corns. Try and get a purist to believe that....you will never do it, ESPECIALLY if they work with the morph you are questioning. As with all Hybrids we can't win....as even when it is a fact we represent our snakes honestly the anti hybrid people will come back with how we can be sure the people we sold snakes to will represent thier offspring honestly like we did. So honestly I just don't care. With all the morphs out there and these snakes being bred for pets....I do not let any one elses opinion influence me when it comes to what I want to work with. It's not like we could release captive born offspring into the wild legally anyway...so though I admire some peoples passion to work with pure snakes, purity within the world of morphs is a never ending debate that is not worth much time and effort to defend. Honest representation is something we should all strive for. I personally do not even look at Creamsicles as Hybrids....sure they truly are. But I think the term is much more suitable for Juarassic Milks and Jungle Corns etc. There's a lot more fun as far as the element of surprise within Hybrids. I was working towards Creamsicle Okeetees. I wanted bright orange snakes with thick white borders around the blotches. I got some similar to what I wanted, and a whole bunch more. Check this snake out. NO white around the blotches, and very little on the sides, with that awesome aberrant pattern. Cool huh? Tom Stevens
