Actually it is. You can't just throw for example a Cairns locale carpet in with a Diamond and call it a natural intergrade. Even though its a coastal, its a locale found nowhere near the intergrade zones.
But then you can even argue Port Macs are just another locale of carpet altogether, not necessarily a hybrid or cross or whatever you want to call it.
They said it's a Coastal carpet M. spilota mcdowelli x Diamond python M. spilota spilota
Are you telling me that these 2 snakes "natural zone" don't meet?

No i'm not saying that, there are alot of different beliefs about Port Macs i'm just putting them out there. But again, only an example, a Cairns locale carpet (even though Mcdowelli) would not breed with a Diamond in the wild.
So to do this in captivity does not make a 'natural intergrade'.
Can you say with 100% certainty that they haven't bred in a wild environment?

You are what is wrong with this hobby, you absolute fool!
It doesn't matter how long you've had your reptile, or how well you look after it... Deciding to throw it in with another subspecies and see what the result is, is simply irresponsible.
Even when it is legalised in all states, it will remain frowned upon by most keepers.
With your attitude, you're probably likely to sell the offspring as 'coastals' and muddy the bloodlines by not informing fellow hobbyists of what they are purchasing. But that's okay... At least you'll be able to call yourself a "BREEDER" like so many of the other fools out there.
You'll notice my first post in this thread was restrained, giving you the opportunity to discuss your reasoning... but you opened your mouth and removed all doubt that you are a moron, so enjoy the flaming!

He obviously doesnt care what anyone is saying and by his replies he'd just go and do it again. And he definately doesnt sound as though he is remorseful for any of his RUDE comments.

For all those people swearing their heads off, after reading this thread I've been thinking similiar things, however theres no point in insulting him as that will only be adding fuel to the fire and causing arguments.
Theres about a million threads on here about why NOT to hybridize, perhaps you should take a squizz at some tree??

some people just dont care if people keep it up id say they will ban people from breeding or something
i don't know why people do. i'd rather just have a sweet "pure" line with a beautiful pattern and a decent healthy body.
simple reading anything on the net, let alone a book, would tell you it's illegal and/or misguided in a number of states, and there could be dire consequences for the offspring. or they could be fine, but if you're going to sell them, you'd have to let the buyers know. morally.
