It would seem that although there has been a number of people breeding cross breeds over the years, either intentially or not.
Since the albino darwins arrival and acquirement by several people, it seems to me that this morph more than most will be crossed with lots of Carpets species, and it seems generally accepted, am I right?
Would this be because most of the offspring would be obvious to the prospective buyers and command good money?
So, who would breed them now?(Not just Albino's, I mean any hybrids)And why?
My own thoughts is that there is a place in the hobby for crosses, but on the whole I prefer pure animals.
I believe that some of the crosses that have been produced are spectacular, some very ordinary.
Where it becomes an issue, and it has been mentioned many times on here, is when people are misrepresenting the animals they are selling, either deliberately or not. 'Browns' has said that he will be true in his representations of future offspring, of that I have no doubt, but his adult animal has fooled many into thinking it was pure Jungle, how many have been fooled in the past??
