How would you fell if your mom killed you because you were ugly? Im not tying to insult at all but just think about this.

    Posts like this are what really bother me.... We are NOT talking about people... We are talking about ANIMALS... Please do NOT get the two confused, they are NOT the same thing...

    Perhaps it's just me, but what does this question have to do with this thread?

    Start a new one if you really want to know.

    And, once again, you've ass umed in error.

    Not everyone gets mad about those things.

    This is just a reduculas thread... My "opinion" on this matter is this.. I would only cull if the snake was deformed in mouth, face or body, noticably kinked or any other obvious abnormalities or health issues.. Only the ones that would hurt the market, endanger future breeding projects or otherwise cause the snake to have a short and unhealthy life...

    If its just a normal that looks "ugly" in your opinion, i would just sell them off wholesale or at low "normal" prices..

    I see no reason to kill just because its ugly. A few very cheap meals of pinky mice or rats, a few sheds, and you can sell it without losing any profit at all. A hobby is something you love to do. That means every aspect of it.

    What do you consider "ugly"? Thats the real question. Is it simply brown & black with no special markings? How can any normal be "ugly" when its just a normal? Even with other types of snakes. What is ugly if there is nothing physically or cosmetically wrong with it? :confused:
