Actually I don't recall saying that the corn/hondo wasn't ok quite the opposite. If you check my post I said that as long as you represented them as what they were that was your business.
I'll go on the assumption that this was an honest mistake rather than you attempting to put words in my mouth.
And again I also pointed out that yes there were mixed corns but there are also many that are not. If you stay away from stuff with creamsicle in it you can pretty much remain clean.
My only problem with hybrids is when they appear like the adults as they can be misrepresented. Just because you say what they are when you sell them doesn't mean that John Q Public is going to do the same when he sells offspring later down the road. When they are like jungles or jurrasics that's different as you can tell what they are. Another thing with hybrids is that it seems that many folks do it simply as a means to breed whatever they have simply due to greed or being too cheap to buy mates to their existing collection. This practice is a far cry from someone actually trying to come up with an interesting new snake.
I'm not going to go into the hybrid pros and cons debate with you as in my experience hybrid breeders tend to think they are right and lack the ability to see the other side of the coin anyway but I will say I feel they have their place but should be policed well by the breeders to prevent misrepresentation. Although in truth that isn't really possible unless you don't ever sell any.
To each their own though and to the folks that like them great for you. I myself will pass though as I view them as a waste of time.
