integrades and hybrids

[percey39]

On the whole its hard to get a pure dog as well, without paying through the nose like i did not so long ago with my english bully. I seen countless pups and sires, all seemed legit they had papers and proof of petigree. Unless you truely know what you are looking for when trying to find pure bred animals you will be ripped off with dogs, snakes and all animals in general. I believe bird keeping in australia went through this and many left the hobby as you were dealing with so called experts with "pure" bred birds.
It will change the way many of us locality specific snakes and pure lines think about he hobby and im sure we will lose some very reputable breeders because of this. As you will be flooded with statements like "why would i pay this much for a jungle, when i can buy a jungle that is also pure down the road for half the price". We all know that a lot of people that have been around for a while will see through the scum, but its new comers to the hobby that it will hurt the most. People are going to be ripped off, projects will be destroyed, reputable breeders will stop breeding and the ability to keep pure lines of aussie species overseas could be lost once the top breeders leave and take their animals with them.
In no way do i hate hybrids or the people that buy them, i can just see there could be major problems in the future. There is definetely a place for hybrids in the hobby, but as i have said unless there is some control of breeding or law placed on them things could turn nasty.
