Re: Been a way for a while, have a concern

I'm sorry Albert, I don't want to come off harsh, but that is in no way scientific. He's following the same logic as many others to justify with "They live; poop; feed; breed; hence are there is no issue"

He even literally states that...

"We breed them because it's a morph, in truth every morph is a "defect". People have brought up the arguement that they would not fair well in the wild. My response would be, they are only going to remain in captivity and they eat, poop, breed, live healthy lives just like any other ball python in captivity."

For god sake they even list the morphs paired with spider and some of them just flat out die at birth, or shortly after. How does that possibly show a healthy genetic make-up? Is it so hard for people to admit that "Yes we make a nice looking snake, but it's not viable to continue this project due to the neurological issues attached to it."

He even states it's attached to the spider gene, it can't be out-crossed.

...It's fine, we are humans, and we love to solve complexities, explore, find the limits, but for christ sake don't do it with living organisms. And certainly not with a commercial aspect attached to it where every person can just simply obtain one and start his own "breeding project".

I'm all cool with morphs, or ball pythons, even if it sometimes frustrates me to see the sheer numbers of them at expos and I see no value in color patterns outside of the natural ones, but some things just take it one step too far and tick me off.
