Just look at the dogs!
The only labelling system we could use (which would have to show prooven facts) would be pedigree papers such as used for dogs.This would then see the hobby go the same way as has done with dogs.Prices would rise on those species with papers,hybrids "mongrels" would be harder to sell and then we'd have breeders stuck with hatchlings they can't offload.They would then need to resort to either culling or releasing thier animals.Most animal keepers aka "animal lovers" are humane with all species of animals,so my bet would be majority would rather release the animals.And I have already described some typical outcomes of this happening.Just look at european carp,or redfin in our waterways.Look at rabbits in our farms etc.As mentioned before I would rather strive for a pure bloodline by inbreeding rather than cross breeding and aim for a snake that is similar to whatever I desired.IMO every body wants to make a quick buck but they dont want to work for it.I love competition! I would hate to breed the best snakes in Australia.I'd prefer to be the 2nd best breeder this then gives me something to compete against and therfore strive for.As an example I used to be involved with ANDRA racing for super street.When you have cars faster than your's and beating your's every event you seem to have more involvement with your hobby as your interests are progressing to catch up to the competitors.But if it was you winning every event there is no longer any fun anymore as you have achieved your ultimate goal.There for come non racing days there is no more upgrading carbies or injection etc etc you no longer have the interest of the hobby as you did when you were striving to achieve something.JMO
