Re: So the UK Really Banned Spider Balls
Old News--policy started by the International Herpetological Society as of 2018 - No impact to the hobby: Anyone who wants a Spider morph in the UK can still get one legally.

I don't take any advice from Brian B.
Re: So the UK Really Banned Spider Balls
I so agree

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that thinks it's lousy to breed animals with known neurological impairment.

I agree with brian that it should be up to the breeders. Most spiders are totally ok and live fine. Would I breed them..no.
Yeah but then you have those breeders that don't really have very many morals just in it to make money and don't care about the welfare of the snake

Yeah but then people become aware of this and don’t purchase from said breeder potentially putting them out of business. The problem solves itself in a way.

What happens to dogs that aren’t bought? What about kids that aren’t adopted? Sadly the world isn’t all sunshine and butterflies. There are always going to be animals that need homes unfortunately. Putting a ban on an animal isn’t going to solve this unless everything is banned. If this problem troubles you I recommend adopting animals instead of purchasing from a breeder.

Re: So the UK Really Banned Spider Balls
I have always adopted and fostered and found.
If they would have put a ban on breeding certain breeds of dogs there wouldn't be so many of that breed in the shelters now.
But now it's too late.
I did however buy my ball python because you don't readily find them in shelters in Texas, FORTUNATELY.
People have the choice if they want to reproduce ; animals don't therefore I hold people responsible for having children that they don't need or don't want and for breeding animals that they don't need or don't want
I'm pretty hardcore when it comes to animals I've seen some terrible terrible things.
