First of all, it seems lately all the ball guys have been complaining that they are over moderated and don't get to fight enough. It does seem like it hasn't seen much action in awhile. There has always been fighting in every part. Go over there and ask if it worth buying desert females to breed. I don't think ball pythons killed anything. They are one species that you don't have to hybridize. There are a billion genes floating in them that you can combine and make some crazy animals with. Colubrids are different, the amount of inheritable genes in any given species doesn't even come close to balls. The colubrids market is made up of hundreds of different kinds of snakes. I think a lot of people that get into snakes and start with ball pythons just haven't taken the time to learn about all the different other snakes there are. You don't buy a $5000 dollar ball python for a pet, you buy it to breed and make "money". So, the way I see it is that less people are keeping snakes as pets. People are drawn more to the business part rather than the interesting animals themselves. There is plenty of people that work with colubrids that don't have any trouble selling their offspring. There is people that make hybrids and people that like snakes the way they are supposed to be. That will not change and neither will the fighting about them. I think it's good to see the arguing over them so people that are interested in learning about them can see both sides.
The question was which Community would you be drawn too? I think that depends on your intentions not on wether I think hybrids are stupid. There is negativity in everything in life. Keep what you like and don't worry about what people think about you.
