Meet Toad!

DaveyFig Mar 31, 2007 11:48 PM

Toad is the cleft lipped kid born last week. I was just looking for input from anyone who has dealt with something like this in the past. Should he be culled? He has a very strong instinct to strike, and a helluva bite. He hasn't shed yet , so no attempt has been made to feed him. Any thoughts?

His nose isn't cut off on purpose in the pics. He was camera shy I guess. I really wanted to show the nose.

If he is healthy and able to live and you have the means to keep him alive, do so. The only thing I ever say with animals like that is NEVER breed them.

Personally I also don't agree with discount sales or giving them away either because in most cases the new owner wanted whatever type of animal that it was and tries to breed it anyway.

So keep it for your self and give it a good life, or put it down.

Just my thoughts.

Cute little guy !!!!

Nice color on him already !!!!

I always thought that if the deformity wasn't that severe like spinal or a tumor you could just give the boa to a kid.

If It is able to survive without any hindrance and not used to breed,I say let it live !!!!
