Jeez.
I never said that I am definately going to do it, infact when I read they were venomous, I changed my idea to the smooth and rough green snakes.
I don't know why you are being funny with me, this thread is simply to explore the idea of interspecies breeding.
isn't the whole idea of this forum to learn things. Not to be judge for not knowing about a snake that I dont even own! |

I give up trying to explain it to you.
I said I was thinking about doing it next year.
Do you really think that when I found out they were venomous I was going to do it anyway? Try and hear what I am saying and read through my other posts.
This is the very start of me trying to understand better how interspecies breeding works, and to be honest your negative opinions are no help at all, you may as well keep them to your self.
not wanting to sound too cheesy, but if you can't say anything nice, dont say anything at all.
You can explain the risks and put forward your opinion without sounding aggressive and down right mean.
I would listen to what anyone has to say on this forum, and I do because most people say it pleasantly and professionally. |

There is no harm in thinking about it, as long as you know that if you WERE to go ahead with it that you fully understand potential risks and complications!
I'm not opposed to hybrids, some are gorgeous and some are... well... not so gorgeous lol.
There are going to be some that work and some that don't, for all different reasons. It's all about research, and obviously trial and error.
Get the lab coat I'm coming over, lol.

| I dont see how I came across as aggressive and mean. Just stating my opinion on it all. As you lot have been. I just dont see why when people wanna experiment with hybrids they risk other snakes. Not aimed at you specifically. Aimed at snake breeders in general. |

It was when you said "common sense to me." as if I was being stupid.
Sorry if I exploded a bit then, It's just I've had people making me out to be stupid on this forum before, a while ago, and it's not fair  makes you not want to post any more, when all you've done is ask a question.
So yeah, sorry mamma, I guess I did get a bit too offended.
To be honest I had assumed that all colubrids were non-venomous, but I've been looking into it and found that quite a few of them are.
Infact, I've read that Boomslang's bites can actually kill a human in rare circumstances

There has to be a first for everything... perhaps it is just very difficult.
Or perhaps it cannot be done.
That's what I'm wondering lol!
There are so many colubrids though that I'm sure there is some combination that hasn't been achieved yet that is possible. |

 glad we're good.
It is pretty controversial I guess.
and since you own a corn and a hoggie, I can see why you'd be worried! |

haha, they are funny looking. I think they're lovely though, but my OH wont let me have one. He agrees with a lot of people that they are too weird looking.
The weirder the better in my opinion!
Anyways, I'm going to the carboot sale  see ya later guys.
Can get some right bargains on vivs and equipment at these things! |

Why not leave hognoses the way they are?
Some do, others don't. Lots of other pets are hybrids eg rabbits, chickens, dogs, just seems with reptiles it is more frowned upon. I think in some cases hybrids are nice long as they are labelled as such, in other cases I do think they are silly. I think it is risky to put kings and corns together, specially since most in my view turn out quite ugly, but then you do get some real beauties!

corns and hoggies need a different type of care, and i think that a true enthusiate that understands any species they are creating hybrids from 100 percent should be the people to do it. im not sure that just because some one has access to snake they should give it a try? i think it would take years of snake keeping to be (for want of a better word) qualified to create a hybrid and offer it the correct care. i once took part in a rabbit breeding program in which i had to have 2 years of experience within the show scene, and use champion show rabbits and they had to be in a pedigree line proven back through 5 generations. the project is still on going and expected to take another 5 years to complete.
a true understanding of genetics and all things snakes need to be a key factor in breeding a sucessful hybrid. |
