the same could be said about morphs.

you're taking a perfectly good normal snake and breeding defective genes into the blood line. (albino is a defective gene, as is piebald etc).

Selective breeding --YES

Hybridization-- NO

Genetic engineering(splicing ect)-- NO

Anything that can't be done in nature, due to natural population stress, shouldn't be done by bumbling Homo sapien sapiens.

Because most morphs ARE naturally occurring. The first albino ball was a WC, the first anery BCI was a WC, the first albino burm was a WC, the first anery BRB was a WC... I could go on forever. They may be uncommon, but not unnatural. Not only are these naturally ocurring, but they are still the same, pure blood.

Ok, what about albino Bci's which arent pure blood.. Both a hybid and introduction of a mutated gene (Though Im sure it's a valid gene naturally with them). Should-would that change anyones mind who is keeping them that is against hybrids?
Also, what about breeding natural intergration comparable specimens, such as a corn snake and a Fl Pine snake? Im sure its possible if they've bred a Southern to a Corn..
Just curious.
