Boa hybrids and python hybrids

Bethany, so your telling me you bred a snake you didn't know the history of and couldn't id as a hybrid? Yeah, I would be upset as well if it was something that was done intentional to me while I was still learning and I had no intention of breeding hybrids. For what its worth, I have collected a photo gallery of hybrid snakes on my own computer. I have also collected pictures of various snakes I think might contribute to the look I'm after. I'm also in the research stage still and after several months of wanting to hybridize corns.... I still find myself looking at pictures trying to decide exactly what I want to mix and what I hope to achieve. I'd like to take my time and truly create something novel and unique, but I can totally understand your frustration.

She was a rootbeer, at least NOW I think she was. Back then she was given to me as a "corn". All browns and no reds. Back then I knew my morphs, and knew I liked pure snakes. I am still not 100% sure she wasn't pure, but I am pretty sure she was a rootbeer. So yes, that incident turned me against hybrids quite alot, even though I still cared for that snake. Not her fault after all but I never bred her again.

I just can never understand someone who could look at a beautiful animal in its pure form and not appreciate it for what it is supposed to be.

I don't know if I'd say "not apperciate" Because i love pure corns but I also apperciate how pretty some hybrids can be as well. Still have no desire to breed or own a hybrid though.

Could be just the oppsite people who breed hybrids.
 
Bethany, I love so many corn snake morphs I have seen and I realize that there are many more possibilities within this small gene pool that have yet to be tapped. That is very exciting and I share your excitement when I think about all the morphs yet to be created or even seen for the first time. Just because I like hybrids I have seen as well does not mean I value the corn in its "pure" form any less. As for your comment about what a snake is supposed to be... that is another thing altogether to say something is supposed to be this and not that. I don't personally believe anything is supposed to be this or that.
