Hybrids

[Darren179]

after reading a few posts on it I would like to here a few more opinions on it. So what does everyone think. I am not starting a flame war so please keep the posts open minded and civilized.

After having read a "few posts on it" why start yet another thread?

[Darren179]

Because they were not as much discussion as they were negative posts. So that is why thanks for the post.

I am against hybrids, but I do find them interesting.

Most people who are into hybrids and intergrades often aren't very public about it... personally I don't see the difference between them and mixing dog breeds, or interracial relationships... they're garranteed to make people pasionate about something.

Inter-racial relationships? Are you serious? "African American" X "Latin American" is a LOT different than <i>Lampropeltis X Elaphe</i>.

I'm with Tim big time on this one. THe only way you could even consider it being the same as a dog breed would be if you cross a pug, who overheats quite often, and can't stand strenuous exercise, with a malamute, who has two heavy coats of fur and is bred to run.

Now what about ratsnake/cornsnake hybrids? Do they carry the same sort of negative light as other crosses?
[I'm not trying to provoke anything, just curious. :) ]

I personally don't have a problem with hybrids... if two animals will get it on without deceiving them in some way, it's fine by me...

However, if you are going to make hybrids, I feel they should not be crossed any further. Otherwise, you end up polluting the gene pool of whichever pure species you breed it back to.

I am also not against hybrids or intergrades. I agree 100% with Lisa on this one. In the US, it's not only commonplace, but has even created its own sub-culture within the sub-culture. It seems to only be in Canada where herpers are so passionately against it. I see colombian x suriname crosses all the time, and frankly, I think they are some of the most beautiful boas around. Katt's recent "Corndi" (corn x baird's ratsnake) are nothing short of incredible.

I truly love hybrids. I agree with invictus that some hybrids like the colombian and suriname crosses are some sweet animals. I think all hybrids are pretty sweet. And some hybrids do happen in the wild like goldens and strips, I think someone here are breeding them, jeff I think...
