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.

yeah it is...I think hybrids are cool as long their breeding doesn't take over...and I don't think it will
really pretty and congrats

This would be the first time I would ever volunteer for a Coma! (pun intended!) They are adorable.
I see nothing wrong with these crosses as they are labeled as just what they are. There should be no mistaking these for pure anything. It's when the waters get too muddy that I have a problem with mis-representing animals either intentionally or un-intentionally.
I do not see that happening here and would trust N.E.R.D.'s word for any animal I would purchase.

To each his own. Pretty fascinating to find out that the cross would even work to start with.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. Corn/kings are one thing, but something with less bloodlines, that will never be imported again.

I think they're gorgeous, and fascinating. I don't think they should eclipse pure womas or carpets, of course, but in terms of what we just learned from that cross, it can't be beat. Now, of course, the next step is to find out if these hybrid offspring are fertile.
So long as their bloodline is kept track of carefully, hybrids aren't terrifically different from any of the color morphs--you wouldn't want those loose in the wild, either.
If this was being done in an area where womas or carpets were native, there might be more cause for concern...as it is, those are some BEAUTIFUL snakes, I can't want to see what they'll look like as adults!

What was learned from the cross other than that it could be done?

Which debunked a boatload of theories about genetics that most likely have a room full of taxonomists somewhere pulling all their hair out about now.
Even if this information isn't followed up by the "professionals" in taxonomy, this simple fact opens new doors and changes thinking for those of us persuing this hobby.
Think about it.
