Nup, I don't get it, I think Carpet's and GTPs are stunning pure, not cross bred. Is it fair to say that cross-breeding would increase the chances of illness or early death? or are they more inclined to live longer? I really don't like the idea of designer snakes.

I wouldn't agree with it if they were endangered species, but with captives.... Why not? There are some amazing looking snakes on a few of them yank herp sites.

I agree it seems to be the way we're heading. I know Roy Pails has put his Albino Darwins over some Vic Carpets. Its funny cos when he told me he was making out like he wasnt a big fan of doing it, but knew its the way of the future.

So do these still change colours as they get older or stay the same?

Thats right.Cross breed everything together and end up with one big lump of crap.Yanks can have Morelia americana and we can have Morelia australis,would make for easy identification and the NPWS paperwork would be a breeze,a single species code.

im no fan of hybrids either and i dont want them to be the future. But you look at it in the wild but when a snake is ready for mating and it cant get some love it just doesnt go and make love with a completely different breed of snake.
