Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I guess I agree with the plant hybrid comment. I don't feel like any breeder should try to produce these hybrids. I've heard Blood Ball hybrids are hard to make, and a person i was chatting with apparently was trying to make hybrids himself, then messaged me that both his bloods had died. That sort of attitude of "oh well, snake died" and shrugging it off drives me nuts. So it's less the hybridization, and more the attitude of some people about doing it. It's not screwing THAT much with nature when you consider all the other things humans breed that "shouldn't" be bred. I certainly don't think it's an atrocity that should be compared to mad science or anything, but it's definitely something to be done with caution.
Personally, the Wall is very pretty! I like the curls and think it's pretty cool looking. Probably wouldn't buy one anytime soon, but as long as people know that a snake is a hybrid, I don't have as much problem with them being made on occasion. There's so many nice morphs that a hybrid has to be pretty tops to keep up. if it came down to it, I'd take a regular ball morph over a hybrid in most cases

I think it looks neat, unique, and patterns are unreal. Would I buy one? Nope. But then again I wouldn't buy a lot of animals. I personally prefer animals with F0 coloration. I'm not into morphs and designer animals. I guess I'm a purist.

What bothers me isn't hybrids or people "playing God" but animals with neurological problems like jaguar carpet pythons. I never understood that concept. It's all good to create a MR animal.

I think the wall is pretty amazing looking myself. It has influences of both species and is very asthetically pleasing. I think if most people look at the snake for its appearance and not what it is most will like it also. In comparison to a lot of the ball morphs out there it is exceptional. Ball breeders have invested a lot of money and time in morphs that are not nearly as nice looking as the wall. The yellowbellly, sable, chocolate, plus the countless dinkers are far less amazing animals in regards to strictly appearances. So anyone that simply states they dont like them but like all the other ball morphs, are strictly hung up on the hybridization thing instead of appreciating the animal itself, imho. Todd

Maybe.......or it could simply be that they don't like it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, different strokes for different folks, etc.

It is ugly. Simple as that. Like Harald said, different strokes for different folks.
