    Re: Is there a Morph you will never own/breed due to genetics?

To me, that isn't putting the animal first.
    When I talk about putting the animal first it means I have the animals best interests in mind. If I feel that an animal is to far gone to thrive and be a Ball Python on it on then the best thing to do is to put the animal down rather than let it suffer. Not putting the animal first would be buying a snake you can't feed or house or take to the vet. If you could predict when a spider would be tweaked that would be great but you can't so you have to produce the tweaked one to get to the non-tweaked there's nothing harmful about the slightly tweaked spiders. Train Wrecks maybe another story but that a different thread.

    Many people own tweaked spiders that Eat, sleep, drink,crawl around, poop, pee, shed, bite, and breed. Sounds like every other Ball python I own.
