Has anyone tried w/snakes, ever?
Wouldn't that be great to share the genetics?

hmmmm, just having fun here........
Male snake condom?
Induce a female with another male, and then introduce the sperm?

I don't know,,, but I guess where there's a will there's a way, right?!!!!
Just pondering is all.
I would think that sharing genetics would be better this way; then say, #1)Borrowing a male that may have parasites, #2)Keeping him from breeding with his owner's own females, #3)Keeping more snakes than one needs for a project, #4)being able to buy sperm for less than the real animal.

Sorry, if it is annoying to watch someone talk to themselves.Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I'm betting you could do hormone therapy too.
By the time all is said and done, It is prob. easier having the real thing,,,, but thinking about it is fun none the less!
