    Breeding help and suggestions
    So I have female Spider Ball from an amazing line of breeders only problem is, is that her incubation temps. dropped 4 degrees for 48 hours last winter and it caused her tear ducks not to fill up leaving her eyes undeveloped. Shes from an amazing stock eats on her own has no problems navigating around the house, is it safe to breed her, i mean technically blind humans can have kids so i just want everyones opinion?

    Thanks

    I would say go for it. Snakes don't really see anyway. They "see" more with their tongues. Oh hell, the blind lady needs some lovin' too.

    I agree, if she's of size and age, then go for it.

    Thanks you guys, yeah techinically balls are roughly 92% blind anyways so I didn't think it would be a problem just wanted some other opinions.

    Thanks,

    I disagree. I don't think the temp drop caused this problem. I drove eggs accross the country and the temps dropped every day for 10 hours or so while we drove. I would use heat packs to keep the temps up to approx. 85 and then plug the incubator in at night. The trip took 5 days or so. All babies were normal, no problems whatsover. I wouldn't breed such a snake. Just my opinion.
