RE: Re: RE: Cross Breeding

I would love to know how many people have had escaped snakes that they never got back???If they weren't snakes from that locality but could still survive there wouldn't you think there'd be some unusual looking carpets being found here and there.A good example is if i had an escaped jungle which isn't the area of natural distribution and it got into the wild,survived, then bred with the local carpet variety the gene pool for that area would eventually get completely muddled up.

Apparently though,so i have heard snakes relocated etc out of the range of where they originate from won't survive.Would this also apply to captive bred animals that have escaped.I know heaps of people who've had escaped snakes and found them up to months later and they'd definitely been feeding and surviving on their own and most weren't indigineous to the areas they escaped into!!!
