Cross Breeding

[boa]

I have to agree, those animals are awesome. I just think there is a place for them alongside the pure blood animals. I like both and as I have said if done in a responsible manner is fine.

Don't worry Liberated i am not going to cross breed.
Playwell there nice snakes what is the white one (first pic) a cross with?

cross breeding happens in all species and if you want to get technical we also do in humans.
say that some pythons might decide they like the look of that other species and they fall in love (on aps lol) and jump on a plane to melb and make babies!

cant say it could never happen hey?

Come on! lets all get down and get dirty! stuff the master race,make some marvellous mutants ,chondro x jungle then cross it with a rough scaled python x albino darwin.

[Bryony]

nah
dino x elephant!
no, no, no,
iguanna x komodo
NO!
GTF x Jungle!

oh wait hold on thats taking it a bit to far

[instar]

Green tree frog and jungle Bry???? That could be tricky!

[Bryony]

tell me about it!
but wouldn't it feel cool!

Cross breed dogs or cats is different. We are talking about the same SPECIES. The breeds in this situation have been selectively bred for many generations to get different looking animals but are still the same species.
An snake example would be breeding a selectively bred high yellow diamond with a black and white diamond.

The cross breeding talked about in this thread is things such as crossing a jungle with a diamond (which are different sub-species for now) which would be the kinda the same as humans breeding with apes.

That picture defeats the purpose of a GTP. 'Green" being the important word. It looks stupid in my opinion.

[playwell]

Ok... so you don't like the GTP Ether, I still dont think you would turn it down if offered to you.
It looks like a hatchling so I think it's colour still may change. But who am I.(No one)

But would you not like to have the white Carpet Python?

I think we are a long....................LONG way behind America so we probly will not even see such a snake even on display in Australia.

(I dont think Carpet Pythons look like carpet, so whats in a name.)

[ad]

Who is looking for 'pure' carpets to set up a breeding lineage?
Anyone buying a coastal carpet python doenst have a clue where it came from or what blood it has anyway!! How do you detirmine pure coastals unless you catch the thing yourself.
Everyone buy pure coastals now and corner the market on locality lineage coastals if you insist, but is this all you can base your arguements against crossing Morelia?

[playwell]

What, did anyone say that?

I think this thread is getting a little side tracked.

I only put a few pics up to show the possible outcome. And how interesting they could be. thats it.

Had nothing to do with the species, cause it could apply to any.

[ether]

A GTP changes clour yes, but it doesent start of with orange, sky blue and PINK!!!!! I would turn it down or i would take it and give it to someone who wanted it. Anyway it's hard enough getting anormal GTP in Aust let alone a technicolour one.

[playwell]

The idea of the photo was for an example to show what extremes of the colours for anysnake of any breed could be if breed in a paticular way.

Not if you thought the name should fitted the snake.

But you have to admit the variations are really amazing even if you dont like the colour.

[BROWNS]

What do you think the Greens being bred in Oz are?They're not pure Aussie Greens and there are a few different lines.Any GTP you buy in Oz will have blue in it or yellow as well as some i've seen with black spots.

I'm not against crossbreeding at all but as has been said if you're intentionally going to cross a jungle with a diamond the offspring should be advertised and sold as such.I have a jungle x diamond and she's a gorgeous snake but i doubt by looking at it anybody could tell me it's not pure jungle.Will have to get a recent pic.

Is it crossbreeding in Victoria when you put a jungle across a diamond seeing as they mostly all come under varieagata?

Actually from a thread ages ago i seem to recall that every morelia other than viridis,carinata,bredli are all now taxonomically Varieagata even though we still recognise them under their sub species names!!!
