wobbles

[ama1997]

Your way of handling challenges must not get you far in life. And if you had some crazy disorder would you want to be just put to sleep.

Well im just fine with where I am in my life right now. And yes if I did have some crazy disorder that would make it hard for me to function, They yes I would want to be put to sleep or whatever.

But it seems as though it doesn't make it hard for them to function, at least in the environment where we are keeping them. (and whose to say that any CB BPs could function properly in the wild?...)

My guess is that they would function just fine in their natural habitat based on the absence of domestication while in our captivity.

This is just my opinion on this. I don't look down on anyone who feels differently but I do not think an animal with a genetic disorder should be bred. I don't think that just because an animal can survive and reproduce means a negative trait should be encouraged. No one really knows what the actual snake is feeling. I can't imagine it is pleasant especially in some of the more severe cases. I do wonder sometimes if peoples reaction to the "wobble" would be different if it occured in a certain dog breed instead of BP's.

I agree.

I agree, but pugs have some pretty severe issues and are still bred.

Thats my thoughts on this too. If someone wants to keep a spider as a pet fine. If its not spinning or wobbling to bad. If it is it needs to be put down. I do not think they should be bred. Its a way to get the genetic disorder or whatever people want to call it. Into other animals. Next thing we know it will be in all ball pythons.

A spider bred to a pastel. The bees can and do get it passed on to them. So ok I wont buy one. Ok I pick up a normal get it home it does it. Then I find out its a normal sib from a spider clutch. Ok all the spiders normal sibs most either get sent out the the local pet shops. Or maybe held back for breeding. Like in the spiders, The normal sibs ones that don't spin or wobble can produce babies that do. If it can be passed onto bees or anything else with spider in it. It could also be put onto the normal sibs too.

So that normal spider sib is bred to whatever say a pied.Then that genetic disorder just got passed onto the piebald gene. In the end we will end up with the rarest of the balls being ones that don't spin or wobble.

Normal sibs do not exhibit the wobble trait.

Aren't all morphs genetic disorders?
