Just out of curiousity, could you cross Constrictor Constrictor with a
Constrictor Imperator? A Peruvian constrictor with a Hogg Island constrictor? A
Surinam with a Colombian? Are the ***lines incompatible? I've never heard of
such crosses so I am curious, especially after hearing about other hybrids...
such as burmese x retics.
Would appreciate any insight :)

What are the ethics of cross-breeding snakes? I'm a little foggy on why
that's uncouth...

Diamoond pythons... a pure diamond is not the easiest thing to find in the
US. Crosses with jungle carpet pythons have muddied the gene pool.
Indian pythons... likewise, it is near impossible to find pure Indians
nowadays, as they have been so heavily bred with Burmese pythons through the
years.
Moving on to boa constrictors, the original poster mentioned Hog island
boas. Hog Island boas are no longer found in the wild. That means the
limited diversity that we have in captivity is it. Once those ***lines are
tainted, they are gone forever.
I'm not totally opposed to hybrids. However, I feel that those who are
engaged in hybridizing animals need to go about it responsibly. Animals
should be honetly represented as not being pure stock, and species with a
very limited gene pool should not be used.

There are certain situations where ***lines have been tainted by people
either not honestly representing hybrids, or people who just didn't know
better. Some examples...
Diamoond pythons... a pure diamond is not the easiest thing to find in the
US. Crosses with jungle carpet pythons have muddied the gene pool.
Indian pythons... likewise, it is near impossible to find pure Indians
nowadays, as they have been so heavily bred with Burmese pythons through the
years.
Moving on to boa constrictors, the original poster mentioned Hog island
boas. Hog Island boas are no longer found in the wild. That means the
limited diversity that we have in captivity is it. Once those ***lines are
tainted, they are gone forever.

Its really a matter of personal opinion. I'm don't think you can say that
it is or isn't ethical as long as it is done responsibly. If things are
being misrepresented that's a different story, but then again that has more
to do with the individuals personal m***character than with hybridization.
Personally, I don't have any time for them.
