I hope no one is ever going to do this...I know we've had posts before about it and the verdict was as my header indicates...There probably are natural occuring intergrades of the 'Cribos, but he couperi and erebennus are so far separated by their ranges from each other and other ss, that this should NEVER happen in the wild...Let's not start it artificially like the Kingsnake,milksnake and ratsnake folks...My 2 cents..

: crossing an eastern indigo with a Texas indigo???

: This hybridization is commonpractice with the crocadillian guys because you don't need special permits to transport hybrids across state lines.
: Has anyone ever done it? Anyone have any pics? I think it would be wild to see.

: I know alot of you would say that it would "cheapen" the offspring...but it depends...from solely a marketing standpoint, it would make moving the babies easier and FASTER...
: I myself would like to own some pure snakes before trying this, but I wonder what some of you vet indigo keepers think about this venture.
