Okay, so I'm not really sure where this goes, but I was just at pet stop... (I'm not going to say where because I'm not sure if it's allowed, haha??) And it was horrible. They were sort of hiding the reptile section in the side, behind a bunch of fish and things. But anyway, I was looking at...

I'm hoping that someone can clear something for me. In the pygmies, there appears to be a lot of confusion. The Pygmy Python (or anthill as it used to be called) Antaresia perthensis but I cannot find info on the Pygmy Stimsons. All my searches lead me to info and photos of the Stimsons...

No one is going to stop the breeding of jags, zebras other cross morphs, so what should be done with the sibs? I personally think that they should be culled, so that these mongrels don't get sold and then passed off as "pure".
