Hi Bluerosy, miss you around here. I actually hatched a few kings, hahahahahahahahahaha Oh yea, bonded ones.

I think the problem is widespread and its not about snakes. Its human behavior. People say, I bred this and that, and they want that responsibility. They want the animals to be helpless so they can do everything for the animals, then feel like they are important. This is across the board with many types of reptiles and pets.

Many keepers don't want it to be easy, they want it to be a challenge. They want that responsibility, they simply don't want the snakes to be able to go on without them. Or do anything without them.

Which is why they take everything natural to the animal away. Everything. As you know, some folks want to feed captive snakes, sausages. You know, like that zoopreme snake diet zoos had for a while.

So Bluerosy, when you give animals credit and individualism, and add terms like bonding and freedom to perform on their schedule, you simply rub many folks the wrong way. As I do. These folks don't want to hear that snakes have abilities. How are you by the way? I hope great.
