it really makes me angry when i read people, who probably dont own these snakes, call them deformed. my spider, and any spider i have seen was not deformed, unless you call regular eating a deformity. my super cinny is certainly not deformed, and as i said before my yellow belly has this head, but my black pastel does not. funnily enough both the yb and the sc are prolific feeders too.
maybe the kinks in the caramel should be brought into this, as i would imagine kinks to impair these more. or the albinos eyesight.
it also makes me very angry when i read of people thinking snakes are disposable, that really annoys me.
I assume Randy was suggesting that his friend euthanized the snake because of the kinking, not the duck bill. I have had to euthanize two snakes because of deformities. I did not see any reason to take them to the vet. I feel that it is up to the breeder if the snake should be euthanized or not. I also feel that it is a responsibility of the breeder to euthanize snakes with severe deformities.
