I've went both routes with corns and had ups and downs on both aspects. From simple human error to emergency artificial incubation because the not so happy mommies laid and decided the eggs weren't worth the time. and 100% viable for maternal and artificial. I enjoyed the more relaxed feel of the maternal but when it came down to brass tacks I suppose more or less I couldn't sit idly by and watch the lives of the 'lings hang in the balance.... not to mention the potential hundreds of dollars for lack of better term..... lay where they may. And I plan on starting BP's this up coming season and since one of my clutches are going to be a norm dinker to a norm fem I was considering the idea my self.. But I can't see myself even considering it for my Spider clutch. I guess my mentality hasn't changed much over the years.. When it comes to down to it.. I can't see my self risking the lives of the babies that my serpents have spent all season ramping up for go to waste... or the potential income which is needed for their own well being.. And mine. And as I type this I know it seems like I am trying to avoid the fact that I am in this for the money, I'm not trying to.. I am in this for the money, yes.. But I'm also in this for my love of the animals and love of learning. I was searching for a few postings on Maternal so thanks for that one Quite Tempest. I think I'll have to continue following both posts as they progress...
And wow I just realized I went fishing in the abyss... Didn't mean to do that =\
