    OK I'm sooooo TEEDED off it's not even funny!!!!!

    Ok so im getting breeder mice from the girl in nixa like 10 mins from me 15 of them for 10 bucks not bad when they are going 2.50 each adult... well she emailed me and told me this...

    My collection of colubrids is getting big but I think I'm gonna breed out some awesome corn crossses next season!
    I have an adult male Albino Cal King that I'm going to attempt to breed with one of my female corns.
    I'm super excited to see the results. Maybe produce some albino jungles.
    Been talking to a lady that does hybrid crosses like that and she's gonna help me through it, lol.


    How in the heck do I tell her what shes going is majorly wrong with out being a major ***BEAP*** about it?
    Thanks, ~*Natalie*~

    Very gently and tactfully

    However there are already a bunch of people hybridizing corns/kings/milks.

    Corns and rat snakes are also commonly mixed.

    I would go with something like: "I can tell you're excited! Well, I guess I can't get as excited about hybrids because we get so many in the rescue... you know how it is, it's a novelty for a bit but then it's the first one to go when someone has to downsize. And so many people look down on hybrids, they are often just discarded or given away to inapropriate homes... it's so sad. Anyway, can't wait to get my mice..."

    I take that tactic often... not too mean but might plant a seed.

    Yeah, tactful is better. Some people (like me with two different garters a few weeks ago, lol) may not even think that they're radically different snakes.

    Poor hybrids! I'm now making a mental note to find my nearest rescue place and see if they have any unwanted ones who need a home.

    Keep in mind that not everyone feels that hybridization is majorly wrong. Would you tell someone that buying a Mercedes is majorly wrong? It's the same thing. Its a personal choice and its not even an ethical choice as far as I am concerned.

    Personally, I don't like hybrids at all and I wish they didn't exist but they do and they will continue to so as long as the genetics are explained fully I am not going to get all worked up over it. Especially when they aren't doing anything wrong
