The Official Birth Defect Documentary *Graphic picture warning*

[satomi325]

I am especially curious as there seems to be quite a few snakes being born without one or both eyes this year. I have only been on the forum less than a year so I don't know if this is typical during the hatching season, or is a more recent development.

This is the exact reason why I wanted to start this.
My friend just hatched out an eyeless fused baby. And I recalled all the other eyeless babies this year. We thought it could be informative to start a database of some sort.

You get this idea from that discussion on FB lol?

OMG GUYS NO MORE BREEDING BC OF POTENTIAL BIRTH DEFECTS!!! Haha

Sort of. My friend who runs that page gave me the idea indirectly. This should be a place to publicly document defects in order to determine what's common and how common. Is there a link between similar deformities? Just a place to learn in general.

what are we calling defects? or do you want someone posting every time they have a clutch of spiders or champs?

Let's start off with physical anomalies for now. Morph related or not. If someone can come up with additional requirements, feel free.

Correct me if I'm wrong here.
All spiders have a wobble. Just different degrees of it. I would think it's pointless to post up every single snake with the spider gene since we already know the wobble is either the spider gene or a gene tightly attached to the spider gene. Same goes for the other wobbling morphs.
