[QUOTE="DVirginiana, post: 34229, member: 3320"] I'm new to T's but making hybrids is generally frowned upon with any species other than a few constrictors (and there's still some heated debate over those, but the hybrids are more obvious and you'd have a hard time selling them as something else). I know I wouldn't be able to tell a hybrid from a 'purebred' and I'd be personally pretty ticked off if I bought an animal that wasn't what it was being sold as. idk if this holds true for T's, but I raise garters I've noticed a lot of accidental hybrids (frowned upon pretty heavily) between really beautiful garter species end up looking like mud compared to the parents.
