I'm just really curious about how you might handle that situation.
I have, and I keep them .... I have all kinds of "clunkers" around my shop ... males and females that don't eat right ... sluggers ... animals that are "tweaked" and can never be used in a breeding program ... males with no hemipenes ... normal males that are just cool looking, but nothing I would ever breed ... I'm just a nut for ball pythons, so I don't mind hanging on to them ... they're all my little friends.
