I figure as I read through so many threads and come across a various amount of debates in regards to wether or not people are for against these hybrids I figured I would start a thread to view peoples opinions. If you have an opinion please feel free to post it.
Personally I would not do this myself however having said that I am niether for or against.

This has been done to death. Myself I couldn't care less. We cross every other animal we have contact with too get traits we want, why should reptiles be any different.

It really doesn't matter what peoples opinions are. The only opinion that matters is that of the relevant government agency and that is that it is illegal.

Pretty sure when this came up a couple of months back with Trueblue and Steve the QLD regulations were posted here and it clearly stated that it was illegal.

if you're not planning to be a line breeder its not really an issue - just make sure if you ever do breed them to tell people what it is exactly that they're getting. Alot of people want to keep the locality and sub species of their pythons pure on this site, and in this country - which is fair enough - but if these intergrades (sp?) are more of a pet thing then I personally don't see a problem with it - just my 5 cents.

Oh no here we go. You had to say the "I" word......
Hybrids ARE NOT intergrades.

What is an integrade?
|
04-Feb-07, 01:02 AM
| | Suspended | Join Date: Dec-06 Location: Western Sydney Age: 22 | | | | Intergrade: offspring of two different subspecies i.e. Diamond Pythons and Coastal Carpet Pythons (Note: definition is the subject of much debate)
Hybrid: Offspring of two different species (Note: definition subject of much discussion)
Offered by APS's own terminology index. So Buck, with your infinite wisdom, please give aps the final and *true* definition, if you'd be so kind?

This thread contains a post by bigguy that explains it pretty well Integrade -v- interbred?
