heres the problem, your taking a wide generalization, and comparing it to a colony behavior within the generalization.

its like saying all people kill eachother, just look at wars and crime and such. Its proven, people kill people. So kerby and D how many people have you killed today???? People kill eachother, yes? Will you kill the next person that walks in your house? why not?

the breeders, mainly live in pairs and groups, hahahahaha whoops. And while these pairs fight and squabble, they normally don't kill eachother.

Same for snake colonies. If you watch longterm colonies, they are so friggin stable. It seems, once they are successful, they are not impacted like the naive individuals.

again, I have followed the same individuals for over thirty years, why isn't it dead, and why is it with the same mate for the entire time.

Ok, buddies, answer that? Then answer whats more important to a population, the stable part or the part living in chaos??????

Much of nature is chaos, but thats not what you want to duplicate.

or is it.

Kerby, try this experiment, I did this many times decades ago. hatch a clutch of kings, keep them together and keep them FED. Do the same with several groups. After a month, take one from one clutch and put it in the other. hmmmmmmmmm pick the ugly one. Then take one from that clutch and put it back in the other, also an ugly one.

This will teach you something, Its funny but what do you look for in your animals, genes, hahahahahahahahahahaha thats your interest, which is great, but those genes are Inside a living animal.
