Mike I agree with you!

Do I dare throw another log on the fire, meh....can of worms?

What about breeding a trait which is known to exhibit neuro problems?

Example being Spiders.

I breed both Balls and Carpets, but I do not own any Spiders or Jags (Carpets) for this reason.

I would have a hard time breeding a trait (spider) that I know tends to have neurological problems affecting the animal's motorskills. Now you could add, this is where natural selection takes place and those unable feed will be put down. I choose not to take that chance. Because of this, I don't own any Spiders or Jags. Now I know there are MANY spiders out there that exhibit no wobble, or little wobble but eat just fine. That is great! It is the few spiders that do hatch out with signs of neuro problems that keep me from breeding this particular morph.

Disclaimer. I am NOT against other people breeding spiders. I don't want this post to be viewed as a "you are a bad person because you breed spiders" thread. No way am I saying this. I think spiders are a great looking morph. I love looking at all the crosses that pop up every year. I am just a but turned away from them due to the fact that SOME tend to exhibit neuro problems that may affect the snake's quality of life. I know there are A LOT of people out there with spiders that are perfectly fine. Cool. Just knowing that this is a possibility; I, myself would just feel responsible if I bred spiders, and hatched out an animal that showed signs of severe neuro damage that had to be put down.

Now I know there are a going to be a lot of people who disagree. Many of whom who own perfectly fine spiders. I just thought I would throw this out there as I am sure I am one of the few who feel this way.

That's all.
