>>If you touch the eggs and arent eaten alive I suggest your theory has holes. Remember, this is the Milk Snake forum.



Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.....the prenatal exposure studies are about **influencing preferences**, not about establishing any absolutes. And yes, chicks do peck hands with great frequency!



And no, no matter how hard you try to believe it -- milk snakes are not likely to be unique in their resistance to a phenomenon already known to occur across all five vertebrate classes. I know, I know...you hate to let inconvenient facts get in the way of your nice little fantasies. Just keep repeating to yourself "slugs really ARE poisonous, slugs really ARE poisonous, slugs really ARE poisonous", and maybe you'll feel better.
