This is a very old post I found while looking for some other stuff, but it's still timeless as far as today's hobby mentality is concerned. It's just as sad as the rest of todays societies blatant and very random carelessness and lack of thought.

An 1107 gram Red Milk??..HAHAAAA!!(simply COMICAL!!)

as his post states "I did about ten seconds of reasearch"

Yes, that certainly couldn't be argued at all, or he'd know it is a definite hybrid. Then on top of his very lengthy "researching" skills, plans to toss it in with a Sinaloan or Honduran for chrissakes......*sigh*

Here's the great link....(rolls eyes)

it almost looks like the link isn't allowed (cross listing to another forum perhaps?)

it won't let me post it either.

google search "i got a red milksnake" with the quotes to find the thread if you must see it.

It looks like a corn milk hybrid. I've seen one or two around before. One at a local pet shop actually. I asked the simple question of why?

The answer given was something about how the government would be hard pressed to ban the ownership of unnatural animals. If the big fear is these things getting into the wild and mucking up the ecosystem, then making the pet trade varieties and hybrids guards against making a mess of the environment. Nobody argues that a chihuahua is going to make a mess of wild wolf populations....

All of it just seems wrong to me...

The people that do this in the hobby not only muck things up in nature when they inevitably get loose here and there, but are constantly diluting authentic types that are still left in the hobby mainstream by the folds every year. Those are the real issues here. What many people in the hobby "think" they are buying and breeding are often completely bogus types of hybrid snakes.

By the way, that HUUUGE snake that was said to be a "red milk" was most definitely a milk/corn hybrid. Then his plans were to botch things up even more by breeding it to more stuff. What would all his offspring end up being sold as or bred with......and then labeled as???? ......case in point!
