Thoughts on Jungle Corns
O.k. first let me state my personal position in all honesty on colubrid hybrids: I have none. I don't feel strong either way yet. I thought I would by now. A couple years ago when I first got my kings and corns I figured more time in the hobby and I would just feel one way or another. But that didn't happen even after constant reading on the net, forum reading, etc. I have yet to find that one statement, fact or position that really stands out enough to "swing" me either way.
I strongly believe Kingsnakes/cornsnakes and their localities should be captive bred and kept to the "standard' for their locality. But at the same time, I feel there is a strong, seperate market/enthusiasium for both strict locality kings/corns AND hybrids. So both areas can maintain their respective interests, while keeping what they feel is important around (i.e. localities or hybrid lovers, more hybrids) and not creating just one huge messy blood lines, no locality etc markets. It hasn't happened yet and locality animals are fairly easy to find still especially in the states, as well as hybrids and the lines aren't really that blurred yet from what I can tell.
How do you or did you personally decide if you want to produce hybrids, or even enjoy them as something else? (this is not a thread about why hybrids are wrong or not really, more of a personal thought, experience, point type thread please as I have read it all and so have you most likely)
I am looking forward to your thoughts and opinions on what made your mind up.
