" I believe the bonding works when they are put together at a young age, but works poorly with older pairings. "

So, if they are supposedly " bonding " at a young age, and then, it is invevitable that they will get older, as in the older pairings you mention, that means what you are saying is that " bonding " only works for a short period of time, reason being they will age and get older. If that is the case, then why go thru all of the trouble supposedly having them " bond " for a while, at a young age, only to have them not do so good as they get older? Seems like a lot of work to do something that so many have NOT done ( in regards to the theory of " bonding ", and have had superior results.

And John, if your males did better breeding when they were kept separately, your words, then maybe you should consider that they are stressed? Maybe not, but still, if your results were better when they were kept separate, then why waste time supposedly trying to get them to " bond "?

Like you, if something goes wrong with my snakes, the first thing I do is look at myself. However, you can't expect yourself to be the sole source of blame for EVERY possible thing that could go wrong with a snake in your collection. If they are born with something internally wrong, how could that be your fault? Some animals are simply not born to live as long as others. Is that your fault or anyone's fault? No. You could provide them with awesome care, a great home, great conditions, and still, you could lose a snake to something that is beyond your control. Don't beat yourself up over every single possible scenario.
