but for that hybrid i cant even sale out of my state.

first formost i beleave in the animals have to be healthy and strong will tooken care of that always come first . but for this just somthing i would do on the side if did not work know big deal

So out of curiosity what would you do with the other 10-50 babies produced?
I mean what if the clutch size is the same size as a burms? I said in another thread that I personally would hatch a whole clutch keep what I want and then euthanize the others. Guess what? I doubt you are callous enough to do that and even if you were it's not a popular position.

So you will keep all of these for a year? You would have to keep the whole clutch to see if there would be any problems. Could you imagine killing 50 snakes around 5' long each?


On a side note, I like paint chips.

Quite frankly, sucking on some paint chips is preferable to seeing this type of garbage in a respectable forum.

This entire thread should be trashed and the OP should be banned if you ask me. It does absolutely nothing to encourage intelligent, healthy or even sensible debate. It's simply trash and it's enough to drive valuable, ethical and helpful participants away by it's very existance.

Amen to that. Totally agree.

I respect your opinion and agree with a lot of it but I'm still on the fence with this one. Yes it has been done before with no ill effects and certain hybrids like Carpondros and Bateaters I could see myself having but I'm still not sure where to draw the line. Owning hybrids is a personal choice and whatever someone has has no bearing on my current collection. Again, "live and let live". For now all my snakes both now and future acquisitions will remain natural. What happens after that I don't know. Only time will tell how I feel about these things at that time.

You guys also forget how much experience and expertise for example Kevin at NERD has, and the facilities he has access to- that someone like the OP does not.

I'm going to have to disagree with this as well.

While I concur that the OP's posts are, at best, a little elementary, grammatically-challenged and based on some mere ignorance, and at worst, he could very well be a troll, I think the thread has opened up some intelligent discussion. Some new things have been brought to light, and not everyone feels the same way about hybrids as you do.

If this is just simply because you think the OP is nothing but a troll, then so be it. I don't think its entirely definitive at this point, so maybe you should just avoid the thread altogether if you do not like what you are seeing. Complain to a mod if you feel strongly enough about it.

If this is just because you don't like hybrids, then, that is YOUR opinion which you are entitled to. You are welcome to voice it, but I don't think your opinion warrants the entire deletion of a thread just because of your stance on this particular topic. Once again, if you don't like what you're seeing, perhaps you should avoid this thread altogether to save yourself some apparent stress.

Clearly this is a lost cause and I absolutely and whole-heartedly refuse to be part of it.

Aww I'm sorry to see that. I see your passion but as one who's on the fence I really would love to see you engaged in intelligent discussion with the reptile student on rhis so I could get pros and cons on both sides.
