Re: I DONT want that snake........

ahha, shaun! Hubby asked me the other day if i knew of a breeder who took the unwanted babies and had like, a cobra or something that they fed the babies to. I knew there was someone out there who would do it!
AH, mixed feelings on that. Leaning more towards, why breed them if you KNOW you're going to have stock that is a waste? Do you really make that much money off of the others that it's okay to have them created with all that energy, and then just kill them?
I don't think it would be worth it to me.

Now, I'll expand this a little. It's my opinion that there is no reason to breed ANYthing (including anyONE) if you know that the offspring is going to have neurological disorders, or health issues. WHY cause a thing to be born that is going to have to deal with it's issues all of it's life, or have someone else deal with it, or at the most, that you are going to turn right around and kill?

That is just..to quote Star Trek...illogical.

I haven't bred anything though. Maybe there is some kind of high i am missing. Everyone for ball pythons anyway, seems to be out there to "create" (inbreed, discard, use energy and snakes and their energy) a new morph so they can have their legacy, or the credit. Morphs are not being bred to enlighten, or heighten, or better the species. BPs are not even being bred to choose what personality traits, habits, or intelligence the animal has and could pass on. It's all color! That is just... a waste.

It's very easy for me to sit on my high horse though, i agree, but you'd have to point out some facts for me as to why it's beneficial for me to see your point or change my mind!

Okay so back to snakes i don't want. I agree with what someone else said, that i don't really like the look of snakes that don't have a neck right behind their head. I DO however, like kenyan sand boas. I'm not that into king snakes. I don't see a need to own one, anyway, not saying i wouldn't.

I would own a devenomized snake. I'm not really afraid of being bitten. Willow, do i want to know how hard it is on the snake for them to do that? Surely it's just a matter of anesthesia and then that's it. Kind of like getting your tonsils out? lol
