what i was saying about SD i think also could be said of D as well - that’s a lot of (potentially) wild DNAOriginally Posted by Gio
will def watch video but would be curious about the particulars of his studyAnother misconception is the amount of sexual dimorphism that exists in the species.

I had a long conversation with Nick Mutton about snake male combat. His conclusion, and it was based on field work, not hearsay, was that males can be every bit as large as females in the wild.
i may be just starting my journey re: breeding but i definitely do not like the concept of either under feeding or over feeding for whatever purpose - just seems v unethical and also, self-defeating because you would think if you want to produce too tier specimens you would want the parents to be as healthy as humanly possible and fed moderately with a focus on peak health - in that respect, i think median studies of wild specimens would probably give us a more accurate picture of what healthy specimens should look like yeahIn captivity it is not seen as often because breeders, especially the ones involved in a giant species don't benefit at all from larger males and they try to get their females larger and ready for breeding. I won't mention names but there is a well know retic breeder that has grossly over sized and over fed female retics.
