Most of todays species are the result of hybridization and intergrading according to scientific DNA research. Are hybrids an abomination or a fast foward button on evolution?....

I know it's become a generalized hybrid debate but show me the wild caught burmese x ball python hybrid and we can then talk all about the natural intergrades.

One point to make about locale purity is that some snakes regions cross over. Most notable is the Guyana and Surinam regions and their locale boas. Only we as people have made imaginary lines through the jungle that these snakes do not obey. I'm sure there's more crosses of these that just happen to look like one of the parents out there as a "pure".

As stated though, in the wild the bloodlines get diluted back through more breeding or simply they don't make it to adulthood to reproduce.
