Especially over that blackish looking specimen pictured previously

If you are going to bash pics of folks snakes, the least you could do is give credit to the hybridizers! 
I would have happily shared my pics with this forum, regardless of opinions, if I were asked. But you took it upon yourself to steal the pics and use them to create the Aussie "American hybrid basher" thread. Congrats...you must feel good about yourself.
I understand hybrids are not for everyone. But then again, I hate country music so I just change the channel/station. Maybe you need to do the same if you don't like hybrids...just don't look.

Dont think i was "bashing", hybrids are not for me, but its interesting to see where the hobby is heading so i brought it to some peoples attention. Photos are taken off the internet all the time arent they? Bit of exta advertising?? |

Hybrid lovers or haters thread again.....
Some purist's go off at the future of the hobby, not sure why? Locale specific animals will always be available and as far as people being 'ripped off' when they purchace a thought to be pure animal, this will play into locale purist breeders favour. The burnt customer will chase up a reputable breeder and become loyal?! Don't get me wrong, I hate to see new keepers getting burnt but it's all part of a learning curve. You cop it sweet, find a trusted keeper that breeds your prefered species and all's cool. If people that want locale specific animals do a background check on the breeder all will be fine (most of the time). There are alot of keepers out there that love both locale specific and designer animals so both will be of abundance...... |

What does worry me is the inexpierenced breeders just mixing this with that with no real goal in sight. JMO.
