Posted by: RandyRemington at Fri Nov 7 11:48:17 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by RandyRemington ] I think there could be a real sustainable market for a snake paternity test, unlike a test for a specific morph gene that will become obsolete and no longer cost effective as the gene becomes more common. Hopefully there is little problem from sperm retention or parthenogenesis but I could see sellers and buyers of high dollar hets spending a little extra to certify their "hets". There would probably also be times when breeders could use the tests as part of their keeper breeding program. I know I've used multiple males and then sold the entire clutch as normals when if I could have determined the father I might have kept some of them (still only possible hets in my case). A paternity test would provide flexibility in using multiple males. | ||
