    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Strictly aesthetics

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.
