As usual, FR got to the personal but not the question. My point was that you ASSUME snakes want to reproduce given choices. Now Tony's snakes are CHOOSING for growth at the expense of reproducing thats pretty clear. Individual success is based on size, species success is based on reproduction, CORRECT?? If you were a breeder why would you give the snake the choice to reproduce or not?? Makes NO SENSE.

Now I know you think Texas is equatorial and you are the center of the herp universe but let me assure you, you're not. People on the forum are from every state(except maybe Hawaii)so things work differently in different places for different species and different individuals. Observing individual variation in specimens and environment may make you an expert on those individuals. Not much more.
