I've read a lot of posts on this site about snow/bumble bee/spider balls etc. Why is it that a lot of you seem to overlook just how colourful and amazing a natural royal python can be. I know that selective breeding brings out diferent patterns and so-on but this kind of selective breeding cannot help but eventually breed a really screwed up snake. I have watched over the years with dogs and cats how this type of selective breeding can give you the results that you want but only end up in causing problems. If you want examples of the cats and dogs look at your basic persian, with it's eyes set further forward than its nose and the problems with breathing etc. With dogs you could site the German shepherd dog which has massive problems with its spine and hips. Why not admire the original and not strive for mutations because you can charge more for them. I know that mutations do happen naturally and should be admired for their differences but I think that I would rather have a healthy, beautiful Royal/Ball python.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should !
