I do not believe that cross breeding is good because it mixes up the breeds. However, many years ago I crossed a Kreffts turtle with a Macquarie Turtle quite a few times. I did not purposely set out to do this, but the only female I had was a Macquarie and tha only male I had was a Kreffts and nature took its course.
The interesting thing is that now the prodigy from this mating is now producing young with great success. This is very interesting in light of the theory that the Kreffts is not a distinct species but only a subspecies of Macquarie anyway.

hehehe settle there womas! lol...i dont hav a distinct problem with ppl crossing different snake species in regards to getting the breeds mixed up, however id be more worried about what possible health issues it could cause with the species and whether its actually worth the risk. JMO anyways, peace out dudes

I have no real problem with it if, as others have said and I have said before, the resulting young are properly represented. Some of the crosses I have seen are stunning. I think it is much the same question as 'exotics or not', people feel very strongly about it and there appears to be little common ground. That is fine, as individuals you would expect that. I say bring it on BUT in a responsible manner and not to the exclusion of breeding pure animals.

too much potential for disease or impurities. its not natural for this to happen so i don't think that we should do it. |

why would a cross breed snake have more potential for getting a disease then any other snake? |

i'm interested to know who here that is really against it has cross bred dogs or domestic cats! the main things that concern me are like others have said, the lies about what you're being sold, and whether so much cross breeding will go on that it will be hard to ensure the purity of non-crossbred snakes...or hard to find one. |

I would be interested to see what would come of it. Different colours etc.
But one of the many problems would be that iresponsable owners letting cross breed animals escape or intentionally released into the wild, then have them breed with wild pure blood animals.
You cant say it wouldn't happen becuase the human race has stuffed everything else. |
