Some types of regurgitation ARE genetic and I proved it ( at least to myself ) years ago. I know what you,re saying, Matt and I am a firm believer and I preach all the time on how; " 90% of problems with reptiles in captivity ia a result of bad husbandry and or improper enviroment. " However, some things are passed down on the genetic level and yes, it does take somewhat of a trained eye to have discernment between; " what is bad as a result of enviroment and what is bad as a result of genetics. " No, Matt I do not have a yolk to baby ratio on euthanization, but it does not take alot of common sense to understand that; " In the wild, that baby laying stranded there with its yolk attached, is easy pickens for the predators and I believe that those animals not surviving in the wild, has more to do with than just BAD LUCK. " One more point, let me ask you a question; " How long have you actually been breeding B.C.C. and how many clutches have you produced?? " I can assure you, that premies and or runts and yolk babies and slugs are much more common in B.C.C. than you think. Alot of breeders try to hide these numbers from public knowledge, BUT I SWEAR, the numbers are as real as you and me. As I said; " If you would like, send me an E-mail madisonrecords@comcast.net with your number and we will chat further on this." I obviously, have a problem at times transferring what is in my head to my fingers and if not, Good Day, I am done.......GOD BLESS.......Johnson Herp
