Intergrades vs Hybrids

[GartersRock]

So Wayne, you would say that naturally occuring intergrades are fine. But purposefully breeding them is just as bad as a "hybrid".

So... Then if you did have an accidental litter of species that could occur in the wild, the situation would be the same?

I never house different species of Thamnophis together in the first place, so I can't really answer that.

I have parietalis and an Infernalis that will never coexist in the same cage.

Sky the Puget, lives all alone, until the day I find another Puget for him to be with.

Things are much simpler that way. Nature happens, and mixing species in one tank spells disaster sooner or later.
