I still think there is a place for hybrids in the hobby. I think it should be left to experience breeders to develop hybrids, not just the average hobbyist. Imagine "designer frogs". Taking the best traits from species and selectively breeding them until they are stable. A frog that is normally elusive in an environment is now not only active all day, but no longer just terrestrial and uses all parts of the Viv.

As far as mucking up the commercial gene pool, I have a tough time swallowing that one. If some hobbyist bred a hybrid, he is most likely to sell it in an ad on a forum or craigslist, and it will most likely go to another hobbyist. Those breeders who are serious breeders aren't going to be buying these animals from Joe Schmoe off the Internet, they are like most of us and only buy from reputable breeders to diversify their stock. So, I'm not sure how the gene pool would get mucked up.

Here's a question, if a new morph is created during captive breeding, is it considered a true morph?
