Personally, I've owned a Jungle Corn for over a year. As a somewhat newbie into the hobby (5-6yrs) , I couldn't understand what all the hoopla was about hybrids, to me it just seems like the evolution and part of the direction many other pet hobbies have gone. When some people who've posted on this thread become the governing body of what's acceptable and what's not acceptable in the reptile industry and hobby, please let me know.
With that said, my interest went into a completely different area;
I became a fanatic of the mexicana subspecies, especially the thayeri. To me the Lampropeltis mexicana thayeri is best non-hybrid, type of a hybrid. One clutch of thayeri babies has more variability than 4 generations of breeding a hybrid. They are much more exiciting to me than any type of hybrid out there on the market. Ok, I'll end my thayeri plug here, but they are one of the best and most amazing snake species to breed, you never know exactly what's going to pop out of those eggs.
Happy Herping,
