Skip, breeding ball python mutations is still breeding ball python to ball python - you're not mixing species. And for the record, I firmly believe that any snake with neurological issues or physiological defects should not be bred. I will never have a spider gene in any breeding population of balls I would ever have. And for that matter, the high instances of birth defects in balls is one big reason why I doubt I'll ever breed balls in the first place - I plan to stick with my boas and Angolan pythons one day.

I also said I DOUBTED they would breed - not that they wouldn't. There is always a possibility. But as Xfenrir said, "just because you CAN, doesn't mean you should....."

Skip, I have a LOT of respect for you and I know you can be direct, but please, you don't have to be rude. Ok? K....
