Thanks for clearing up that one guys post...he confused me

Ok...so you are planning on what? Taking adults/subadults that have never lived on their own and releasing them into the wild? Even with their instincts, chances that they would survive and be able to produce a next generation are slim to none. How many people on here talk about how "my snake knows feeding time....they are always right there at the edge of the tub ready for their food on the tongs" (or something like this)
Yes they have instincts, but they...like every other living creature, have the ability to adapt. They "get used" to being fed from tongs. Being fed F/T. Living in a tub.

It's even worse if the plan is to release a bunch of babies who aren't accustomed to captive living. Then they have to survive twice as long as the subadults to make it to a point of being able to reproduce and re-establish the wild population.
