Anyone catch it?

Strictly discussing the genetic engineering angle (although I'd be happy to discuss the religious POV), I personally think that specific genetic engineering for designer traits would rob us, as keepers, of the "magic" of hitting odds within a particular clutch. Would there be as much satisfaction in producing a clutch of 6 pieds out of 6 eggs from het x het as there would from genetically masterminding this to happen through controlled engineering? Absolutely not.

Hey Kara, I think you've made a very good point, I couldn't agree more with your assessment. Honestly, I don't see lab-grown animals ever replacing natural animals as pets. I could be wrong, and that would be incredibly sad.

How about a glow-in-the-dark pig?

Those are pretty cute too, but I did see an article not long ago about glowing kittens being produced. Much cuter, imo!
I've enjoyed all of your posts in this thread, you've shared some excellent information.
