I didn't mean to stur up this much emotion, sorry. Now someone mentioned that hairless rats are weaker due to inbreeding, the way I see it these "new" scaleless snakes ain't going to be any different. He's going to bred to a normal, then he's going to bred to his daughter... or maybe a son to a sister, whatever. The point I'm trying to make is that this is a bad idea. I'm again line breeding. I don't care if I just imported the greatest morph in history, I would not breed it until another one was found. As far as I'm concerned the snakes come first. Money is no reason to put snakes health at risk. If I owned this snake I would not breed him. If another was found I MIGHT think about it. Don't get me wrong, the snake is cute. But there is way too much line breeding in his future. I really hope this post dosen't end up like my last one.
Thanks,
James
