there is a difference between breed and species.
i think the article was refering to US pythons, where it is harder to identify purity, or get new blood.
so hardly applicable to australian keeping

Looks like a really long-winded way of saying "Why shouldn't hobby keepers cross-breed", could have made his point in 2 sentences rather than 20.

Can anyone name, without all of the crap, just straight simple answers.
One bad thing about hybrids? (other than increased health risk etc.)

The only time birds carry live animals is when taking them to a fledgling chick, (otherwise they are dispatched and consumed fairly quickly) I don't think many nesting birds fly too far to feed chicks, at least not far enough to move through a prey item's natural range. But you never know.

There is nothing wrong with Hybrid dogs, cats, cattle, horses and people!
| I agree, in some ways, but people dont cross breed with sub-species, different skin colours are simply like differently regioned pythons, is it really a hybrid to breed a SA stimmy with a georgetown stimmy?
according to science for humans to be hybrids someone would have to have sex with an ape...
although there are some wierd ppl out there, maybe it has happened, but i'd rather not think of that...

What make herps so special? | Dogs, cats, cattle, horses and people do not hybridise as they are the one species. Hybridising in reptiles crosses that line, where people are putting species like Morelia bredli over Morelia spilota, Antaresia maculosa over Antaresia stimsoni. With dogs, it is just Canis lupus familiaris over Canis lupus familiaris which is similar to breeding a striped Jungle to a banded Jungle - same species, but they look different.
