What I am saying is that if anyone that sells deformed offspring is only in it for the money...and I do not agree with that. I think it's wrong to sell deformed offspring, and because you can't guarantee that the buyer isn't going to breed it (or sell it to someone else who will breed it), how can you ethically let that animal live when most breeders goal is to "better" the species? On a more "emotional" note, how do you know without a doubt that animal is not suffering in some way due to its deformity?
I had an entire clutch of Lavender Motley cornsnakes hatch out kinked last year. I culled them all. It sucks, but it's something a responsible breeder has to face sooner or later.
