[QUOTE="Timmm, post: 2539760, member: 49913"] What exactly do you mean with ''almost everyone considers to be bad''? Keeping 2 snakes together in the same enclosure, keeping two different subspecies together, freezing unwanted eggs or something else? Actually, the egg freezing was his suggestion, not mine. He basically said that if they happen to lay eggs, I should make sure to freeze them. Which surprised me, because it seemed to me like hybrids between carpet subspecies are extremely widespread in captivity. To be clear, I am open to doing things differently if there is a good reason for it. I am actually from Germany and only moved here two years ago, so there might be differences between how I learned it in Germany and how it's usually done here. It was just confusing to talk to that guy because he seemed unhappy that I kept the pythons outdoors during summer, but didn't mention anything specific that I have to change (except for the blue tongue lizard enclosure, which at 140x60cm isn't that small, or is it?). He could for instance have said that I have to separate them, but he didn't say that. I get your point that what happens in nature is not relevant here. I was just asking because them not meeting in nature was his reason for why breeding them is not ok. But this seemed factually incorrect to me when I looked at the distribution maps, so I wanted to ask some more experienced people if I got this right. By the way, were you serious about hybrids between carpet and water and blackheaded pythons? [/QUOTE]
