    Breeding/laying eggs is natural, but it is also stressful for the animal. The animals stops feeding and puts all effort into the production of eggs. With the Wild Caught animals I've worked with, this isn't something I want to put them through.
    I will not point fingers at either Aaron's or your arguments, however, I will say that enough scientific research has not been done, and I don't even think that technologies exist to do the type of research or learning that needs to be done to make the statements that I have read. Personally, I believe that after a few million years of evolution, I still think that these animals are programmed to do a restricted number of acts. Eating, drinking, surviving and procreating. I am not saying that you will "drive a snake to insanity", but I don't think you are putting as the type of stress that you and I regard as bad on an animal that yearns to pass on it's genes.

    Just my thoughts,
