well that's a good point you make but honestly when the conditions are right....belly empty, temps just right, daylight/night time.....you get my point then the hatchling will eat. If they don't then maybe they just don't like what they are being offered.



Heck I consider myself a "beginner" but I've had reasonably good luck with my approach. I guess Tom thought this was a good "what if" and "if so" what was the result.



"Do you(folks, no one in particular) think your conditions are SO right, so you must select for the snakes to adapt to you??????????? " FR



no, but when you are consistently maintaining your snakes in the same enviroment, feeding the same food, drinking the same water....then in my limited experience it is reasonable to think that a person might be able to line breed to produce hardy feeders. Until you can show me scientific proof that I can't, I'll continue to believe it's possible.



Frank - I don't know you but I do recognize your name and that you have some precedence in the reptile community. I would ask that even though this is a public forum that you might QC your post so that you don't come across as condescending...it's not appreciated.



I'm sure my comments will solicit negative responses but that's ok.



Take care,

Russ
