I agree with OtorresUSMC in that no matter how much info is out there, people will pick and choose what to believe and which fact/opinion works best for them. Even reading 2 highly different opinions here, I still got something out of BOTH and will add that to my think tank for the next time I need some info on this subject. Speaking of 'in the wild' there is a huge argument that goes (who even knows how far back), about maternal incubation vs. technology. No matter what FACTS you have on the subject, there are just as many FACTS backing the other side of the argument, so in turn it all boils down to what's best for each individual (hopefully with the animals best well being in mind). In the wild they do breed and thrive, but also many die (young and old) due to disease, rodent bites & infection, etc., things which CAN be highly prevented in captivity. In my home I cannot afford to lose snakes due to things which can be prevented.
