ANNYways- the baby i needed to put down died on his own. so we don't need to figure out the most humane way to kill something anymore- i am sure there is a thread full of it somewhere on here already.
the kinks are staying with me unless I can find appropriate pet homes- that being said- some breeders would at this point choose to cull those ones as well- i mean - I now have 4 snakes that I can't use, taking up 4 tubs in my rack. I have to be careful where they go so they don't get bred, but in the mean time I am stuck with them. I personally love them so it is ok, but I can see why a breeder would cull.
my question now is what caused this? i would say temperature obviously, since that was the whole start of this thread in the first place- but every baby hatched from the first clutch (same incubator) is perfect. and the third clutch is beautiful- so now I don't know if the temperature is the issue- or if it is why it didn't effect the other clutch. if it is genetic then how do i go about finding out if it was the mom or the dad's genes?
here is a pic of a pretty and not kinked baby just to make this thread happy again lol
