>>I'm not a troll. I was just trying to see where the direction of hybrid snakes is going. When I see a hybrid that is listed as a Pyro X Greeri X Thayeri X Sinaloan X Corn etc, I kind of see it as a "mutt" snake. It's like breeding a German Shepherd X Doberman X Husky X Irish Setter X Pit Bull (just using these names as an example).

Actually it would be more appropriately like breeding a Doberman to a Coyote to a Timber Wolf to a Red Wolf to a Dingo. Species not morphs.
>>So what is the actual importance of breeding all these different species of snakes together? Especially when the results are something that just looks like a Corn snake for example.
Creating something new. And the F2s that I have seen don't look like corns. That is one of the fascinating things. It is like finding new facets of herp genetics and working with them. ----- Sonya
