So Goini X Brooksi are "Hybrids" now?
Well according to KS.com they are? My ad for 3rd generation Goini x Brooksi was moved from the Kingsnake Classifieds and placed under "Other: Hybrids and Intergrades" Maybe if i just called them "Lavender Goini" like others do they would have a place in the KS. Classifieds?
There are too many sub-categories in the Classifieds. When I use to browse the kingsnake/milksnake classifieds, i may come across something i wasn't looking for, because they were listed together, Since the split i've browsed the Milksnake category ONCE, and that was because i noticed there had been split.
Is all the division necessary? If it's a matter of appearance then it's pointless. As a seller it takes away from the possibility of a potential buyer coming across something they weren't looking for. As a consumer/potential buyer it would seem easier if all these snakes remained listed as together i remember (find everything in one place). Shouldn't the consumer have the option of whether they'd like to browse a listing of a hybrid/cross or bypass it?
The "hybrid/intergrade" category is listed 17 spaces down from the colubrid section and grouped with other categories that barely see any "traffic." Additional various species are listed under the same "hybrid" banner and this is supposedly to be better? I know many in the snake community would rather if crosses did not exist but they do, and to throw them all (regardless of species/sub-species) under one category, that isn't directly linked to the type of snakes they are is bad for a seller.
Is there something i missed? can someone please explain to me why the current setup is better? If the "Hybrid" category IS absolutely necessary then shouldn't all the headings (Pythons, Boas, Colubrids, Venomous, etc...) have their own Hybrid/intergrade link? Probably not as there are less than 30 posts in the current category. so why aren't they just left where they were?
