their militant anti-hybrid behaviour is based more on misrepresentation and tainting of pure lines than the actual production or existence of the hybrids themselves. I suspect by your login name you are a python fan. How would you feel if you bought a pair of "pure" diamond pythons and found out there was coastal carpet blood in them? Or a pair of sumatran blacks and found out shorttail blood was in them? Are you going to justify that its OK because they look "just as good", or think its a much better animal because it is a hybrid? The simple fact is I dont think you will. You will be PO'd just like anybody else in the same situation would be. Hybrid lover or not, you were DUPED and did not receive what you paid for by an unscrupulous or unknowing vendor. Please keep the perspective that many, many people have been swindled buying pure animals that turned out to be questionable, and even outright hybrids. Some unfortunately found out much later after they in turn produced animals they sold as pure. So now they have their own ethics being questioned by the herp community. It can be bad, bad business.
