Should I breed my pewter X cinnamon

[Ballpythonguy92]

Well she the pewter doesn't want to breed and gets mean when I put the male cinnamon in within 5 mins I heard loud banging so I jumped up and ran out and I heard hissing and banging still I opened it slowly and they stopped and she looked very agitated and flighty just not happy her space was intruded lol any ideas why? Is it because she's not mature? I'm going to try another male tomorrow after she has some rest but I'm worried this is what happened before when I had tried and just shrugged it off but I did make a post before and also why I made another but this time asking if I should breed her aka this thread lol

Wow , the first thing that comes to mind is are you sure on the sexes of the animals? For them to be so aggressive towards each other is unusual for opposite sexed individuals.

Yes I'm 100% sure the pewter is a female and the cinnamon is male but I'm going to see if she reacts that way with another male or just the cinnamon

Personally I'd give the female another year before breeding.

That's what I was planning to do back in October but when I last weighed her late November early December that's when I took that picture so she's got some more or less weight then in the picture but I can't personally do anything if she doesn't want too lol

I would also, she's not even two years old yet.

Personally I wouldn't breed a kinked animal either. Granted it might be just an incubation issue, but what if it's not? Then you're just propagating bad genes. For something like a single gene black pastel it won't be difficult to find one without any deformities.

Ok the cinnamon and pewter are not KINKED in any way their farther had a kinked tail that was less then an inch long and was cut off before I had even got him because I got the dad a super cinnamon with a stubbed tail from from some guy who told me it was kinked and that's all but he had no kinking in the spine just the missing piece of tail

I find it really funny when people don't read fully what's going on because I wouldn't take a kinked deformed animal and breed it and what I said earlier is I'm always thinking about what if I get kinked animals what am I going to do well I also said if they can eat poop and shed fine aswell as move without much difficulty then they will avoid the freezer of death and be giving away for free to good homes to only people I trust who won't resell or breed but keep as a loving pet which I know a few people that would but I also have a soft spot for deformed animals

Actually he doesn't say that, he could have bought them both from someone who bred the kinked daddy. But yes, since there is known kinking in the line I wouldn't pair with anything in the 8-ball complex. IIRC Liesen line black pastels tend to kink less than other lines.

As for what to do if you get a kinked critter, that does depend. I've produced two (BRB's). One passed quickly, the other I still have. It eats, poops, and sheds ok. I give it two smaller feeders as I don't think a normal-sized feeder would easily get past its neck kink.

If you do need to cull a kinked animal putting it in the freezer is one of the most inhumane ways to euthanize it as reptiles do not just "go to sleep". It's been found that their brains remain active while their bodies freeze, so they feel a lot of pain before they die. Pith the brain instead for instant painless death.
