What is the rule of thumb for selling deformed/kinked/imperfect animals? I simply would not sell them, for any price.

I guess it would depend on your definition of deformed. A genetic kink would scare me. But an injury such as a rat attack (which could deform an animal) would not make me jump.

euthenize the defective animals, I don't care how pretty or what those animals were not ment to live at all much less hatch....I feel the ones with birth defects shouldn't have to live a painfull life...even the blind ones
I know most people will hate me...that is just how I feel

take the snake to the vet let the vet deside..i have a ball he has had his back broken 5 or 6 times close together..like he was shut in the door...this snake is happy huge at almost 4 lbs... he was a resque like that when i got him the vet said hes fine... my best eater by far... snakes get hurt even in the wild but i wouldn't kill it if it wasn't suffering thats wrong
