A boelens pyhton (Morelia boeleni) is a medium to large snake found only in selected areas of New Guinea. Rare and beautiful these snakes are VERY hard to maintain in captivity and even harder to breed. No successful true captive breedings have occured. (PLEASE prove me wrong) I pray when (or if) we get an established population of these beauties they NEVER get hybridized with other Morelia species.
Please stop hybridization of any species or even subspecies.
I realize you folks like the looks of them, and can breed at will(that is what is great about the United States of America, FREEDOM) but it is just plain and simple unnatural.
Occasionally snakes do INTEGRADE in the wild, but very rarely, and there is a differance between an INTEGRADE and a hybrid. This is why hybrids dont always and in most cases NEVER lay eggs,or hatch, or have fertile offspring.
