I've got a question about selective breeding for temper and/or feeding response; has anyone done this, and how well did it work? How many generations did it take to notice a difference? When I breed I'd like try this, particularly with my bigger snakes. I mean color combos are nice and all, but a house snake that'll jump right on F/t is also nice, or a retic that won't go spastic every time you go into his cage...and if all my kings could be as mellow as my florida's that'd rock too.

We wouldn't have 6 and a half billion people if you had to be beautiful to get laid.
