Captive hatched ball pythons are fine, but what about WC adults and subadults? There's a weekly flea market where I live and they sell WC adults all the time and I hear all the time about people who buy these snakes and they NEVER eat. Months go by and they just waste away and die. Occasionally they will eat gerbils but that's rare. I understand that WC adults are where most of the morphs come from, but what about the other couple thousand that starve to death every year? I know it'll never happen, but I think importing adults should be strictly limited to just the unusual/possible morphs. Too many normal and perfectly healthy wild-caught balls are doomed to a slow death the second they leave Africa.



Just a thought...
