Re: Accidental love...

Okay, I'm probably going to sound like an idiot here, and I'm ready to hear about it, but can I ask why these hybrid snakes are so frowned upon in the first place??
I completely understand from a breeding perspective you wouldn't want to spoil the bloodline.
But, if you keep the hybrids as a separate group, is it such a bad thing??
In many other animal species, people mix breeds all the time, and those mixes are often well sought after. I'm mainly thinking of dogs and cats here, but still...........
There are probably a lot of people who would love to have an unusual looking garter that results from a mix of species. NOT to exploit and make money, just to appreciate it's unique beauty.
As a person who just loves snakes, in all their shapes, sizes and colours, I have to say I just don't completely understand this issue.
