My friend isn't to educated on the subject of... Pretty much ANY herp, and he thinks he knows just about everything because he has a ball python and bearded dragon. So here are the things we've been argueing about. I know I'm right but since he's older he's automatically right.
1. Does a ball python need ANY kind of treatment for water?
I said no.
2. Is there any chance of either sex eating the other when trying to breed?
I said no.
3. This one is kind of a 2 part question. Can you just look at a ball pythons tail area and tell the sex? Can you determine the sex of a ball python by the spurs, especially how they are positioned?
I said no to both.
4. Has to do with hets. He does not know a single thing about hets and morphs so I can understand why hes saying he's right about this, but hes stubborn and I cant convince him unless I have proof. Can you breed any 2 ball pythons together (Not het, poss het, 50% het, 66%het, any other het) and get any albinos?
I said no.
5. Do you have too raise the temperature or cool the temperature during breeding season?
I said cooling for the start, but only because I do not know about the entire cycle. He said you have to raise the temperature ATLEAST 10*!
6. Has to do with ALL snakes, also a 2 part. Does the type of snake have anything to do with the temperment? I'll give you an example. I was saying that I wanted to get a BRB, and he said have fun getting bit because they are always vicious and whatnot, and then an arguement started over that as well. All types of snakes are included. Also, does the morph of the snake have to do with the agression or behavior or anything besides genetic defects?
I said no to both, although I've heard stories about most burms being hissy, and most GTP's are always agressive.
