Anyway, Mike Wilbanks is not the "scientist" behind the original research, but in breeding & keeping snakes, it doesn't hurt to be open to new ideas- at least until proven wrong. It's obvious that some detractors are jumping to incorrect conclusions- it does take courage to share new ideas, & where would we be as a society if no one ever did?
It also takes real courage to spend $25,000 on a hatchling & then experiment with it. Helps to remember that the snakes eating so often aren't being force to do so, nor are they consuming more than the "usual" amount, & that not all snakes actually cooperated with this.
Like I said, I've followed Mike for awhile and I have always enjoyed reading/hearing about his experience. I think the issue with the Morphmarket post is just everyone having an opinion and yelling it at once.. so to speak. Versus here where we can all be respectful to each other and discuss.
Also him walking into a random hotel room in Daytona with a $25k cashier's check sounds like the opening to an episode of Narcos
