Re: Cross breeding snake species..
Ya it is definitely an interesting conversion starter for sure.
I love to see purely breed animals, I think because I love the natural history of the animals I keep. I love seeing what the actual animal would look like in the wild.
Keeping blood lines pure is definitely important to help reduce the demand for wild caught animals in the market. I guess cross-breeding is okay but I would really really hope that everything is clearly documented and recorded to avoid cross bred animals being mistaken for pure bred's to the untrained eye. i.e new snake owners
I actually own a Colombian/Sonoran boa (50/50)... technically not a species hybrid (although with the potential reclassification of the species it might be) but even a mix of localities would make me second guess breeding him.
