Bateater - Step 1

[K1LOS]

First off i'm not sure how i feel about this whole topic, but i will add a little to it.

Alright, im just gonna say that being okay with natural occuring hybrids, but not okay with captive hybrids is just silly. It's still a hybrid. All that means is the natural gene pool is polluted as well, isn't that even worse?

With the logic some people have used, then all morphs are wrong as well. I understand there is a difference but they are not naturally occuring, so it must be wrong, right?

Next, im gonna say that people hold way too much faith in taxonomy. Clearly its not set in stone and changes pretty frequently, so therefore take it only as a guide line, and not fact (don't base statements on their taxonomy).

And i will point out that all hybrids do not pollute the gene pool. Irresponsible keepers do.

y not start a club or orginization or something, make your bateaters or what have you, but only sell infertile offspring, keep the fertile ones in the organization. Only trick would be to get anyone breeding them in the club, which wouldn't happen.

And finally, im just gonna say this. When was the last time you saw a normal corn snake or burmese python? I swear there are more albino burms then regs these days. A polluted gene pool is something to be concerned about, but realistically, you'll never be able to stop it.

where are the mods on this one? WAAAAY off topic (myself included). This needs its own thread. Perhaps even a debate category in general discussion.

Does anyone know what happened with this guys project?
