Just wondering if anyone has experienced cannibalism when breeding their Hondos?
Thanks!!

I can say with great confidence that Ive never eaten another human while breeding Hondurans...lol Sorry Davester its late and Ive got narcotic cough syrup flowi'n thru my veins. Ive been breeding Eastern Kings for years and Ive never had a case of one eating the other. I know of people thats happened to but its not too common. At breeding time they usually turn off the urge to feed especially the males.

Ya that was worded funny! Hey if ya don't have a problem with easterns. They must "turn off" that behavior for breeding or there wouldn't be that many around!
Thanks for the reply!!

I thought I did once but about 4 months after I thought I lost my male hypo he showed up down stairs from my apartment in a chiropractors office. The guy was pretty cool about despite being a complete quack. I told him I was more afraid of chiropractors than he was of snakes and he showed me a video of him manipulating a 4 HOUR old baby to show me how safe he was. The bones are not even solid and this guy is pushing them around. What a joke. Oh and he had a clear paddle he waved above the kids head to find out which way it needed to be adjusted...wtf a magic paddle??? ahh ahem sorry it still bothers me.

So umm no... no cannibalism in my experience. I house a few animals together year round with no problems but that is another story.
