I wouldn't describe it as an argument or a debate as such more a topic that IMO should be talked about more often within the hobby.It is great to evaluate alot of members opinions on the subject and at the end of the day way up the pros and cons on the topic mentioned.It is also a good subject for those not knowing much about it to get a good idea of the possible outcomes that may arise with such a situation.With that said I can now rest my case knowing that the truth is out there.It was mentioned several times that theres many cons and only one pro (that pro being profits) within hybridisation.Possible 2nd pro would be overcoming DPS syndrome within Diamond pythons,but I feel that this dosn't come without downsides also and therfore I consider this also to be a con.Cons mentioned so far include health problems,breeding problems,the threat of being released and over running native species, protecting/saving native species within captivity &/or wild,
Market for native species,etc etc.
