I'd be curious to see how many of the people that have the, 'I won't support keeping/breeding snakes that are bred just for looks and inferior health' point of view... have pure bred, or even mutt dogs. Exactly the same scenario.
Facts:
1. No matter how much you hope, pray and wish - your precious 'pure' pets will never EVER contibute to conservation so there is no reason for designer snakes to be shunned.
2. Why would people go and poach 'ugly' snakes from bush surrounding urban area's when in the future you will have the possibility to buy albino jags, snows, axanthic jags, jagpondros, super hypo jags, orange pepper jags etc etc - and thats just until people come out into the open about Zebra's and Granites... then we have a whole new kettle of fish there! If anything these designer snakes are better for conservation, in regards to poaching!
3. No matter how much you kick, scream, whinge about the 'neuro' issues, all the nay sayers will ever have ANY idea about how little of a problem this is with 90% of jags because they do not own them, and apparently never will. And lets face it, your snakes spend a good majority if their time curled up in a hide not moving anyway.. therefor not displaying any neuro issues..
Oh and on a side note - is there also no place for jag sibs from Coastal jag/ Coastal jag pairings?
