Line breeding sure, i can handl that but intentionally crossing two recognised species is insanity, what happens if they escape!

The same thing that happens when a coastal escapes in Murray Darling territory, it either survives and pollutes the gene pool or dies.,

I know most people there don't believe in hybrids and fair enough. I have a fairly different veiw of them. I was talking to one of the big breeders in the U.S., and they told me about a jcp/retic cross they are incubating eggs from. Can't wait to see those! The same breeders this year produced a woma/irian jaya carpet cross. Wild stuff being done. Even a couple I'm sworn to secrecy about.

As has been said, if you like them buy them and if you don't like them don't buy them.

| If I could, I'd show you a pic that would make you believe that any snake, no matter how small, can breed to a giant. :wink:

If you have to build your own animals then you don't love them from a conservation side.
I'm not picking on anyone, just airing my opinion.

Conservation is of major importance to me but keeping captive reptiles is done for the love of it, very few of us have animals that could ever be released into the wild. I think it is best not to confuse private keepers with conservation.
