    Re: Known Genetic Defects?

    I think the thing to take away from this is something Kevin says in the interview, there's no science involved in any of this this entire industry exists from regular people either doing something they enjoy or something they see as profitable or both. We are playing god so to speak. Making pairings and combinations that statistically would never happen in the wild. Because of this the responsibility is on us to be ethical in our pairings and decisions. While there may not be "definitive" proof, if there is enough for an educated guess that a certain pairing will produce lethal or deformed results those pairings shouldn't be made period. Now something like a wobble, while not ideal, I don't think is grounds to not make a pairing. That's my opinion only and solely based on the fact that spiders clearly thrive those with and without wobbles. But pairings that produce snakes that die shortly after hatch or rarely make it to term just shouldn't be done. No matter how beautiful we think the resulting Pattern/color may be. Sorry for my ramble i was bored lol.
