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.Originally Posted by Asherah
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.
