Your chance of finding pure rankins any where other than Australia is close to zero.

Crossing them is not bad for the offspring, actually when we started crossing these in the early 1990's we had better survival success with a lil larger dragon that were stronger feeders and would take larger more available food items than a supposedly "pure" rankins.

Don't get me wrong, I do no like hybrids at all.

You also have to consider that these are being produced for the pet trade only.
