    i'm not saying the bp should be replaced, but i am saying a new "breed" can be created because man decided to make his version of the perfect snake (kinda like how dog breeds are created...).
    Two problems with your argument.

    First off, the original spider came from the wild with the wobbling that you see in some of them. So there goes that argument.

    Secondly, dog breeds are still the same species. They weren't created by breeding a dog and say, a fox. As far as I know, they were line bred to create the different breeds.

    Breeding a ball python with a blood does NOT create a new "breed", it creates a mutt, plain and simple.
