To the people who want them as pets.


Such a noble statement - "I would never breed them" - takes more ethics than a purist imo.


How many pets have you owned for 20 years or more?
Are you prepared to give these snakes room, food and board for 20+ years?
How many of these non-breeding animals could you house?

Housing 2 hybrids as pets v's owning a pair of pure animals and breeding them is an immense gap.
Selling them after a few years because you are bored with them or want a different animal - the new buyer might not have the ethics you have. The pair of pure animals, even if not bred and kept as pets would still be a better alternative, why support hybrid breeding in the first place when we have such an array of beautiful native wildlife available?
