Whats the word on this project?

every last Ball Python trait has been crossed with every last Ball Python trait.

Why not find out what surprises still lie in Ball Python genetics before we look to see what hybrids have to offer??

As the corn snake folks (myself included) say about hybrids: Why muddy the waters?

Personally, if I'm shopping around for some corns to add to my collection, I NEVER buy animals from someone who has even one hybrid in their collection.

Once again, these are just my (and I'm sure a few other folks too) opinions.

I'm sure there are folks who like hybrids. To each their own. I know I'll never own a hybrid.

That's my 2 pennies Cdn.

to quote ralph davis(and i couldnt agree more) hybrids suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moreover, I see no point in exhausting all possible ball morphs when there are so many endangered and threatened species that hobbyists can help to preserve.

Well meaning thought, BUT zero practicality.

For the most part the people actually doing things about saving endangered species, consider us Hobbyists(including breeders of all sizes) to be part of the scourge that is hurting these species.

I myself love hybrids. If properly represented they make a great pet or breeder for what we do with them, which is keep them in little artificail worlds for our emotional or financial benifit. Period.
