heres what your missing, it doesn't matter who did it, or how many did it, or if I did it. Weak babies are a sign of the type of husbandry being applied.

These animals, all the snakes you mentioned, are designed to florish, as long as there is support, normally food and water, the rest is there in nature.

In nature they have super strong neonates, but, most do not survive, they fail from lack of support, again, normally food and water, and the occasional car tire and raccoon etc.

In captivity, they are the same unit and what allows them to succeed or fail is US. You, I and Gregg(all of us)

They are the constant, we keepers are the variable, we simply do not apply husbandry the same. You will constantly read here, oh I do that the same as you, only different, I live here and this and that. Oh and I feed on Tuesdays and thurdays, but so and so feeds daily, etc

What is bothersome is, you and the other poster, want it to be about good guys and bad guys and condensending A burrows. ITs not, its about results and results are comparable.
If Gregg has healthy second clutch neonates on a consistant basis, and your friends do not. Then that's simple, Greggs husbandry is better. As measured by results. So what do you fellas want to do, copy the ones who produce weak neonates, or learn to produce strong neonates?

Is there "bad" individuals out there, YES, but its normally from poor husbandry. They simply are not bullet proof. Best wishes
