"First and last post on this forum."



This tells us quite a bit about you...seeing as how I am replying to your second post.



There is one way....the American way I might add, that you can further your crusade....take your money and go buy yourself some anchietae and boeleni, there are captive hatched offspring of boeleni out there (Try Bushmaster, Kamuran has had great sucess hatching them out)....and quite a few angolan babies are produced each year by several breeders. Some of the stock that produces each year are WC, some are F1s, you will have no problem getting your hands on a nice group of pure Angolans. And if you are so worried about boeleni, they are available too. Go acclimate a nice adult group. Want to champion this species....go work with them, don't tell others what to do with thiers. None of the big breeders (some of whom invested LOTS money, time, and sweat into thier projects) care at all what you think about hybrids, nor should they. Talk is cheap my friend. I enjoyed working with the two boeleni I have had, and I am sure you will too. This way you can be certain that there are "pure" animals for future generations to enjoy.



And by the way here's a few wild caught hybrids (there are more, but you should do that research yourself, being the president of your association and all)



B. gabonica X nasicornis

B. gabonica X arietans

C. horridus atricaudatus X adamanteus

S. catenatus X C. h. horridus

Elaphe (pantherophis) o. quadrivittata X Elaphe (pantherophis)g. guttata

Lampropeltis g. californiae X Pituophis c. annectens



Nothing that happens is un-natural (humans, and all we do) are inherently natural. How are you to know that the production of fertile hybrids isn't part of the great "natural" plan? These animals are not produced through artificial insemination. You may not like what happens, but it's not to be deemed "natural" by you or anyone else for that matter. Human intervention has had horrific AND good results in this world and guess what....every thing that has happened was "natural"



If it isn't supposed to happen, it won't.



Lastly, I find it amusing that your last post ended with "beating a dead horse" YOU posted here, are YOUR thoughts the last word on this subject? You also posted on the Ball Python forum. It seems you can't stop telling everyone what they should think and do. This is a discussion forum if you don't want to discuss it then don't post your opinion publicly
