The Candyball revealed to BP.net

[Big Gunns]

Yep so you took a calculated RISK & cycled a few girls with him, not like you exposed your whole collection. A smart cookie like you would have the whole breeding group well separated from the rest of his snakes.

I still say QT is Standard Operating Procedure. But I would have done EXACTLY what you did with the Candy male, Neil. Better to risk expanding those genes than not & either he doesn't breed or (God forbid) something happens to him.

Big Gunns almost forgot. BG did ask the importer(most people "in the know" know him) what he would do. He explained that he had bred many a wild caught male and NEVER had a problem with disease.

BG, could you please tell BG that I appreciate his explanation about the whole QT situation. It seems a lot of aspiring breeders look for shortcuts and saw that picture and out-of-context explanation as a good example where they can cut corners. Thanks for taking the time to explain the entire process/situation.

You're welcome. Big Gunns was about to post that he does not think it's wise not to QT your animals just because he didn't do so this particular time.

Thank you for all of this !

I would have probably done the samething if I had the money. Not quarantine an animal, but quarantine a group that will be in contact with it.

Getting it to breed now was a wise decision, who know if he will still want to breed the next years to come.

Yep.

That's all it is with you anyways isn't it Bigg Gumms? Oh yeah that and flappin your jaw.

Doesn't just about every decision you make in life come down to dollars and cents?

You forgot one thing though. People that know BG best know EXACTLY what this is. He just hasn't mentioned it here...... YET.
