And yeah it makes perfect sense someone with thousands of dollars worth of baby snakes should put main focus on a snake with birth defect that would be worth a few hundred but might be worth 20 with the issue. So please explain what the point in breeders holding back a snake jntill it sheds and eats a few meals........who can answer that?
Nobody flamed you. I just found it mildly amusing that your original question was one asking for advice, and advice you got.
But then you claimed to know better than these people, and went on about your experience and defending your friend. So I was just wondering why you posted at all, if all you were going to do was shoot down any advice that you didn't want to hear and basically tell everyone to sod off in a roundabout fashion ("It woulda been damn monitor food possibly but everyone here with 3 snakes knows it all... lol guess this forum isn't as useful as I thought"; now THAT was rude. Nobody attacked you, so there was no reason to get snide).
Snakes aren't about the money. If he's already got "400 snakes" to care for, one more won't be that much more for him, regardless. Plus, having a facility would be more advantageous I would think. But either way, your first post came off as "hey my buddy passed me this snake with a birth defect, what do I do?", which strongly implied that you didn't know what to do. But you do apparently, so again I ask: why ask us then if you already know?
PS. Both the people that first gave advice HAVE more than 3 snakes... a good deal more. You didn't like when we "jumped to conclusions" about your breeder friend, but now you're doing it to others... Hm.

But by no way am I new to snakes.I've had them for over 10 years now and have 21 myself. From boas to balls to green tree pythons and carpets. I've never breed snakes before as I myself don't know if I am ready. As for my friend in his defense I don't understand how he is irreaponceable breeder for giving someone with aalot of bo expierence a snake that hasn't been established yet and most likely won't make it? When you have 200 babys just hatched and 200 more breeder or almost breeder size snakes you usually let nature take its course. You don't have time to deadicate to a snake that has a high chance of making it. The point in not selling a snake until it shed and has eaten is to ensure it is established and won't parish with the new owner. Because that makes you look bad and stealing someones money. I asked him for it when I knew the odds of its outcome. Like stated all of its siblings are not even for sale yet. Nor does he ever sell anything without getting 3 meals atleast and shed. MY pourpose for the thread was just to say what I got and to see if I should attempt to feed before it sheds basically. Obviously you cannot make a snake shed and can only provide higher humidity for it attempting to help. The snake most likely won't make it. Won't be able to reproduce and wasn't easy to sex and it wasn't even 100% positive of the sex. I figured and so did heit would stand a better chance in my snake room with 21 other snakes I tend to and handel daily then in his with 400 that he doesn't have time to handel every one daily. And let it not make ot and end up in his freezer. If he was that irreapobceable he could of just let what ever happen happen and then made it into monitor food....
Do you practice QT?
