that folks easily find these forums to feel out how much a hybrid or integrade they are producing is worth, but never find these forums in time to get sound advice against doing such breedings, or a better idea of worth before eggs are incubating/babies are born.

The animals you are attempting to produce are going to be worth whatever a person is willing to pay for them. In most cases, not much if anything. As pointed out in other replys, it is well known that these integrades or hybrids often get sold off to unsuspecting buyers mislabled or identified as what they most resemble in an effort to clear the cages or make the dollar. Thats the sad but true reality in the hobby today.

I was an avid hobbyist a few years ago, mainly working with corn morphs, but also some other locality driven species. Today I wouldnt even bother buying many of the ratsnake and even common king morphs I see expecting them to be pure subspecies or non-integrades. Same with many of the milks.
