No I meant HYBRIDS. They happen all the time. When one usually happens in nature it aborbs back into one or the other.



This topic has been discussed here to death. The anti hybrids folks will say, well how do you know it is a natural hybrid or a release. It is a topic that just round and round because of some folks who think this does not happen and think their snakes are "pure".



here is a pic of a gopher x Calif Kingsnake. It was found by Brian Hubbs on a ranch in central calif. The ranch was private owned, remote and large. So no way someone released it there.









As i said in the thread below. We have to many divisions in herpetoculture. I like all snakes. I used to be a Rosy Bopa nut and kept all the localities back before anyone knew what localities there where. I like morphs, hybrids, natural and unatural intergrades. I like ratsnakes, sandsnakes, hognose, lomgnose,patchnose, kingsnakes, milksnakes, rubber boas, large boids, small boids, pythons etc etc.



They all have something to offer and are neat. It all becomes unatural when you put it in a box and selectivly breed. And since snakes hybridize in the wild, what does that tell you? FR has chimed in recently with several hybrids he observed in nature on remote land as well.
