    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Suprise!

With great respect to my fellow breeders and hobbyists, I'll take Jeremy's side on this one. *If* the snake can survive on its own (no assisted feeds, etc.) *and* it can be found a caring home, *and* you get an agreement not to breed in written form...then why just kill it? Maybe he's meant to live a long, unique life with an owner who would be delighted to help an animal in need but would not have otherwise considered it. That said...unless all of those are present, culling may be the best option.

:iagree: And if you need someone i know a gal who loves the broken up reptiles and does not breed. She will do a contract with you on not breeding !! She has a 1 eyed albino i had. I wanted to cull but it was healthy as can be. Just one eyed.

Thank you Cliff. Before I decided to put him down or not, I was going to atleast see if he can take a meal on his own and shed properly. He is in shed now, so we will see in the next week. As far as breeding him, if I am not going to keep him then I would put him down, not even risk that ever being a possibility. He is very unique. I will try to post a video of him moving around and climbing stuff.
 
Update on the remaining 4 super hypo jungle babies. 3 of 4 have shed and taken there first meal, including the little one with the crooked spine. The 4th baby is having a hard time with its shed, so after it has shed I should have a meal in all 4 babies. Now that we have seen this little one eat and shed, any further suggestions on what I should do? Still put him down?
 
It should have never been fed
I have one here I took in,in a collection rescue that has a pretty good neck kink
The thing was well over a year old and I was hoping to at least be able to give it away after rehab etc.
He is still here,eating medium rats and being the model for "docile"
He will be 8yrs in acouple months,the responsible thing was not done 9 yrs ago.
As with humans,some just shouldnt be breeding

This animal was never intended to be breeding with anything. As stated, if it was believed that if it was able to move around to thermoregulate or get a drink, eat on its on, shed and defecate then it could possible be considered to be a pet and a pet only. In fact, it would only be considered if it was going to stay with me, period.
 
Your gonna do what your gonna do
Why the board drama suggesting your speculative position?
If you cant kill it,you cant kill it

Simple enough,best of luck with it

Drama? I don't feel there is any drama here.

It's not about if I can or can't put it down, I simply was just asking for advise on if there was a chance with this little one or not.
 
Its the "suck" part of being a responsible breeder Jeremy
Being compassionate is not part of the animal kingdom,its one of many
human intrusions.
This world is full of living facts that support the fall out when human emotions are allowed the foothold.
The emotional side of you fed that animal no?

Yes, I get what your saying, I just didn't understand how you felt there was drama being caused by all of this. I am not one for causing or wanting to be a part of drama. But, yes, human emotion is my reason for wanting to save this little one.
 
I'm still with you on this one, Jeremy. But I'd wait another shed and a few more meals before making a decision...nature may still correct it's own.

Did you ever get any video?
 
I know that must have been tough for you Jeremy, but I think you did the best thing for the little one. Don't forget to focus on all the beautiful good babies you did get though!
 
Perfect Nature at work,it deals with its own
Glad you did the right thing,be very easy with the others as there is obviously something wrong with the litter.
I would feed any of them for 2-3 weeks,just let them alone
If its fixable,theyll fix it on their on abilities and terms

Just be patient!!
