I'm the guy who wrote that post! Boy you guys sure get uptight about your snakes! There should be a clear separation from wild snakes and those produced in herptoculture. The idea is to eventually look down our collective noses at those who are still fieldcollecting. I see the hybrids as a fine marketable alternative, a legitimate cottage industry where no one gets hurt, provided some nut doesn't try to establish a wild colony of some creation. I'm sure the idea of crossing boas and pythons gets the boa and python fans in a huff just like the mention of your precious indigos bothers you. I do happen to love Indigos, I stupidly and illegally kept them as a youngster(I'm now 40) as I live in Florida. I wish I could keep them but because of selfish idiots such as myself in my youth, we can't! I justified it as a youngster because I loved them so much, I would never hurt one,etc. I remember the day I caught one as being my grand prize, the tops of my field collecting history. That was over twenty years ago now. I don't go "snake hunting" anymore thanks to the advances in herptoculture. If someone could produce some legal Indigo cross, I'd probably love them too! Sorry dude!!
