What if the big breeder was doing this as a case study to determine the way the one eye or no eye gene is inherited. When he produced all normal boas what would you do? Kill them all? Keep everyone as a pet?
It seems fair to sell some of them disclosing the fact they were from a no eyed parent, and hold the rest back for future breeding trials.
Now I'm not saying this was the case, I have no idea, but what if it were? Some might say give them away, but does that make it any different really? As a normal looking boa who's to say that it would never end up in the breeding pool.
What do you guys think is the right thing to do? Keep in mind trials such as this could help to greatly reduce or eliminate one eyed and no eyed boas which would be great espically for the one and no eyed animals .
