Marisa,
The post of mine you quoted wasn't directed at you, it just ended up being posted right after what you said, there was a seperate response that I addressed to you. Sorry if it looked like I was trying to pick a fight with you, as you said, you were agreeing with me mostly...

That may be a heart-warming side-effect of captive breeding but that's not the reason people began doing it in the first place. Do I want to "rape nature" as you so dramatically put it? Nope. I don't own a single WC animal and couldn't be bothered to get one either, it's more trouble than it's worth to me.
So tell me, if you do it all for the love of Mother Earth then why snakes? Why not pandas? Or rare penguins or endangered plankton? Why not just join Greenpeace? Could it be that you are just personally interested in snakes because of your own personal tastes? I don't think that is a bad thing, I'm just saying don't lie to yourself about your own motives, not that I care one way or the other what your motives are. Those motives, again, may not be economic but they are certainly self-centred, at least I am willing to admit that.

I don't keep Pandas because I can't afford them nor do I have room to grow enough Bamboo to feed them. I checked into it though...It just didn't pan out. It's too warm here for penguins except those that inhabit the Galapagos Islands...and I doubt I could get a permit for them anyway. I never checked into keeping them...just seemed like too much trouble. Greenpeace sucks...I'm not a neohippy tree hugger...sorry. Why snakes? Because I have always been fascinated with them and it bothers me to no end that people here will run off the road to run over one. It is my mission in life to educate as many people as I can before I die to at least respect them and not feel like it's their civic duty to kill every snake they see. Plus snakes don't have smelly feet or arm pits. That's kinda cool. Oh...and they don't hump my leg ....huge bonus!

Yeah. Okay. Long time reader, first time poster.
Great thread...particularly because I've been reading for a while and, much as I love the snide remarks he has in store for everyone, Jeff is just on the wrong side of pr!ck. Believe me, I love people who can dish it out, but let's admit it, Jeff, you've met your match here, eh? This Julius character is the pure distillation of doling out bruising smack. It's fun to talk the talk, isn't it Jeff? Until you run across someone who does it better.
Just for your edification Julius, I think you've got Jeff up against the ropes and my god do I take pleasure in seeing the occupant of a throne being deposed in high style. This is Hamlet writ small.
Keep on doing what you're doing, especially if it means posting here. I would agree that intuitively inbreeding seems like a lost and ultimately self-destructive cause. You have a mission, and I think you would be doing yourself a disservice not to stay true to your beliefs in your breeding program. Best of luck.

Obviously I am dragging up something that is most likely better off dead... but does anyone still have a pic of this "Pied" ATB, and anyone know if anything has come of it?
I hate to bring it up, but I spent the last 8 hours off and on reading the whole damn thread and all the pics are (obviously) no longer hosted...

Wow! intense thread! I only got 1/2 way through it and I will be sure to read the rest when I can, but just wanted to add my two cents. I don't think it's a piebald at all. I have had and know of many other ball pythons (i know pythons & boas=apples & oranges) that have had these same white spots and they are not genetic traits. This might not be the case with your "piebald" amazon, but I'm willing to bet ALOT that it is, but I don't know where I'll be in 10 or 15 years.
Hump.
PS or let me guess it was from me feeding live to it. LOL
