::What do you guys think of the blue beauty x ridleyi cross posted for sale in the colubrid classifieds??? Pretty interesting looking animal. Just curious. ----glenn n nancy

:: Although they look interesting I hate to see the cross happen intentionally. I have different Beauty snakes and hate to see them start being cross bred. Randy

The ad sort of caught me off guard. While I do own creamsicle corns (guttata x emoryi), I wasn't quite prepared to see an Asian rat cross. I think ridleyi are so strikingly beautiful on their own, the cross certainly did not improve on their looks. My concern is that with "polluted" lines, a dishonest person down the road may try to sell them as pure.
