I like this topic because people are inserting various things that are related to the original post and there is no need to start another topic that might aggravate someone.
Anyway, the topic of hybrids was brought up. I wouldn't be surprised if more than 90% of the venomous keepers look down on them. I'm one of those 90%+ because of various reasons that might agree with other people. 1) There are far fewer venomous snakes kept to begin with so the gene pool is very small compared to, say, King Snakes, 2) The number of wild venomous snakes are decreasing as habitat is destroyed so the potential for increasing the gene pool decreases every day, 3) hybrids do not breed true, so if you breed them together nothing you produce will be the same in any way, and if you cross them with anything else then nothing you produce will be the same in any way, 4) if I am gonna buy something then I want to read something about it so I can have an idea what its gonna act like or what the venom will be like, but a hybrid will be in no written description, 5) I just have a gut reaction that repulses me from them as unnatural (something that might amuse some people, I have the same reaction to some farm animals; they have been inbred so long that there is nothing natural about them). I will admit that a Gabino is absolutely beautiful, at least the babies I've seen pictures of. And I don't mind if people hybridize things, it can have interesting results. I would even want to see the animals that resulted from the hybridization. But I wouldn't buy one and I'd never breed one. That's me though. Sometimes its good to find out if something can be done and what results.

I personally think that in no way were you both treated tike idiots, some people are different and answer questions in a different way, I had a load of hassle from more than 1 person on here before but because of the fantastic and varied keepers etc here I persevered and rerported any posts i felt were not on topic and it was sorted, The simple fact is you cant expect everyone to have all good suggestions as that would make been an individual totally pointless, my advice is to ask the people who you do not like asnwering your posts to not answer them in future, and also if its really that bad then report it the mods here really do keep a close eye on whats happening, Belive me to get so wound up over a few individuals isnt worth it considering the amount you can learn from this site and as for the guy drollinig on about care sheets i would have had a few things to say to you but i prefer this place to be clean and informative of which your statement question is neither, its just a rant if u want to see care sheets then ask the site master and im sure you will get a valid response. keyz.
