LOL! Oh so true.

The only problem is that we will inadvertently create a problem for ourselves (the ball pythons actually) in the long run. For those that aren’t in it for the long run who cares? For us that are, then we should. I am a firm believer that most of the problems we have now with balls are due to this mistake. I would be willing to bet we will start to see more deformities in other lines later on. More duckbills, small eyes, bug eyes, no eyes, kinks, etc., etc.
Only time will tell.
