Very well said, Brandon!
Crissy I think the point you're making is a valid one, however, what you are talking about is not breeding a damaged rescue. Whether that rescued snake was in the beginning hatched in the wild or in an incubator in captivity isn't going to make much difference when it comes down to it, to my mind anyways. If it's been hurt, neglected or outright abused then it's completely appropriate to make a decision about whether that is an appropriate animal to breed. I believe only the person rehabbing that particular snake can make that call and hopefully make it responsibly and on a case by case basis.
For me it's always going to be about that particular snake and properly assessing it's current needs on an ongoing basis, more than it's past history either in the wild or in captivity.
