Quick breeding question

[Dave S]

I'm new to these forums and still kinda new to being the lucky owner of a wonderful BP (got him as a x-mas gift from my brother). This is my question.

I have heard that if a snake is scarred and it is used for breeding that the scars can carry on to the young. Is there any truth to this at all?

I argued with a snake "expert" about this. He claims that scarred snakes don't make good breeders due to the marks passing on. This makes no sense to me since scars aren't part of the snakes genetics.

Hopefully I can get the right answer on this. Thanks in advance!

Lol he's nuts absolutely untrue. You are correct scars are not genetically linked at all.

I didn't think they would be. I could see something change in the colors, sort of like a birthmark type thing. It just made no sense to me at all that scars could be passed on, lol.

Incase anybody is wondering, my snake was a rescue. Bad scars all along his spine. Very good natured and I wouldn't give him up for anything
