Get your mongrels out....

[cockney red]

You got to admit things are crazy though. I can get jaguars for £100 or less; by you they may go for a couple of grand (or more). There seems that there can be more money to be made in smuggling animals into and out of your country than can be earned from smuggling drugs. Worst of all is this is simply down to your wildlife import/export regulations!

I may be seeing things here all wrong but if you Government were to get onto this one it could earn
a fortune in taxes on exporting AU captive bred animals (birds, reptiles, fish, mammals) together with what it could make on regulating chosen imports which it could also make a few quid on taxes too.

ps. I fully appreciate why you would not want to import mongrels seeing as your habitats would encourage escapees to flourish and become pests so maybe that part is a no go but eh send us some nice albino Darwin's at rock bottom prices please (you can even have the ashes).

I could have you shot, for that last statement...

Crosses are funny things. I have no problem admitting some look stunning, and are quite beautifully patterned snakes.. but for every one nice one, there is 10 very average, muddy looking snakes. For example almost every jungle/diamond cross looks pretty much the same or worse than a jungle or diamond...

I want to know what happens to the 8/10 hatchlings in a clutch that don't turn out beautiful...

I am of the belief that as long as they are sold as what they are, not pawned off as pure, crossbreeding really isn't that much of an issue.

Some nice photos here!

 

[krefft]

I would imagine the 8/10 "muddy"ones get sold off as pets to people who don't really care about locality. However the seems to be quite a few experienced keepers also looking to get them.

Granite aside, the majority of these so called mongrels
at the end of the day are just morph short cuts.

No the granite isn't a hybrid.

Oh, i didn't think it was.. yet its in a mongrel thread, so typical.

I better add a crazy morph photo.. to prove mongrels are stunning :lol:

 

[Retic]

Wow, that is stunning.

That's actually a mongrel morph as it is an IJ jaguar and therefore has IJ & Coastal blood together with the jaguar mutation. This one pattern aside has got a right dodgy looking noggin

 

[borntobnude]

im just wondering why fay hasnt taken those offensive photos off the thread yet?


no not the snakes!!!!!

 

[diamondgeeza]
