>>Yeah, John, I've had private conversations with people who claim this. And, truthfully, I believe it. It's kind of proved out in my own collection, though I never did it intentionally. In the past, I've looked back, and could notice the trend. And, like you, I haven't thought about doing this because I want to leave it open for anything I holdback. But I talked to one breeder who told me that regardless of how nice an animal was, if it didn't feed right away on pinks, he didn't keep it in his collection. And he's got a serious collection, lol.

Yep Brian...I've heard the same claims and have no reason to believe they aren't true.....Mr. Cherry has claimed to produce thayeri that feed readily....I am sure it took some generations because I have hatched common kings and corns that were WAY more stubborn than the thayeri and alterna I have hatched.....

My firm belief is that snakes are individuals and there still will be a stubborn one in the bunch no matter how hard you have tried to "line-breed" for pinky feeders......ALthough I am sure the folks that have these claims certainly have more that feed readily than I do.....LOL
