Burm/ball hybrid

[Will0W783]

I think the hybrids are fine if they are clearly represented as such and the gene pools of pure species are maintained as well. There are some hybrids that cause a lot of problems to the snakes, and are rarely viable, but many of the hybrids do just fine and are really neat-looking.

Look at what's going on in the Everglades for an example of wild, semi-natural hybridization: the Burmese python population is hybridizing with African rock pythons. The two species are extremely closely related, but the offspring are larger than either parent and have shown to be much hardier and more resistant to the cold winter spells.
