Here is a male wild caught gaboon rhino viper hybrid.
And here are some F2 gaboon rhino viper hybrids. Yes the hybrids are very fertile.

You could say that your both right,my main objection is that the way legislation is moving the future free movement of reps ( import/ export/ overland)is looking doubtful at best,and 10 -15 years in the future we do not want to be in the position of not being able to obtain pure true lines of captive species and not being able to obtain replacement W/C stock,in the way that the various Locals have come into play,and your point about natural hybridization,yes of course this happens but its not very common and these hybrids are not going to live in a confined gene poll are they,in their wild state their genes would naturally disperse back or might as you say from a new spp or local,this is un-proven,l like your response to certain problem morphs these are un-ethical and posse a bigger problem
Hybrid Mode
