Will My CO2 Chamber Kill Hatchling Balls Too?

[Evenstar]

I do not like this thread either.... ur already thinking of killing babies before anything has hatched??? Besides, just because a baby has a deformity, that doesnt justify any need to kill them. In our collection, we have three snakes with deformities. I would NEVER think about killing them.Just because they dont qualify as breeders, or for a spot in your collection,doesnt mean they cant be given away or sold cheaply as fine pets!

It isn't about breeding. Animals can be born too deformed to eat, and will die regardless. Some believe (myself included), that it is more humane to put them out of their misery than wait for them to starve to death.

I don't like this thread either, but I do not think the OP is talking about killing a baby that might otherwise thrive despite a deformity. But it is a fact of life that some babies just cannot survive due to severe birth defects. I think it is responsible of the OP to consider what they may have to do BEFORE they are in that position. It is not a "nice" thing to talk about, but breeding is not always a pleasant experience. Sometimes, we have to discuss the unpleasant to better ourselves and do right by our animals whether we "like" it or not.
