Now Tony any idiot with two different species can try to breed them if they are close enough to the same gene pool but why? Name one reason Hybrids are neccessary? Anyone? A few of you know me and Ive been breeding herps since the early ninty's and in the last decade its been mostly Dart Frogs and Venomous Snakes and somehow I have managed to create 0 thats ZERO hybrids as its not neccessary. We happen to be in a hobby that produces such beautifull natural beauty that I have no clue why you would need to try and upstage it unless your after a quick profit through creating a new fad or through unnatural selective breeding. Many species are endangered in the wild and have pretty much ZERO chance of making it in the long run so why not preserve them the way they are. Hybrids lead to wrong ID"S and a few other issues like the fertility issues not to mention your mixing species in vivs which can lead to the transfer of parasites and chytrid if your not up to par on testing and treatments when neccessary. Think about it. When species start disapearing like they are NOW wouldnt you like to have them here as pure and accurate to their natural selves as possible instead of a hobby full of mixed critters? I asked the questions to the python breeders as well as Ive known many for years including the ones who produced some of the first BatEaters, Carpondro's and the lets not forget the Corn x Kings. I gave them all hell. WHY do it?

Im sorry if you guys actually belived I produce or try to produce hybrids.
