    Re: Hybrids and Intergrades

    I think that the hibrids sometimes look nice, but it isnt good for the animal because hibridizing can bring genetic damage, no matter what kind of snake is.

    What do you think about intergrades? Or hybridizing of subspecies?

    Integrades occur in the wild (in captivity it = hybrid), collect a wild integrade? Fair enough ... I wouldn't breed it though. Hybridising of subspecies is exactly the same as my earlier response - full of issues (labelling/doesn't look like anything new/etc) and pointless.
    Keeping - 'Florida blue' sirtalis, concinnus, infernalis, parietalis, radix, marcianus and ocellatus.
