Conclusions that can be considered fact are not always fact because they were subject to an experiment, e.g we know that 2 + 2 = 4 without having to count out bananas.
When you are talking about reptile placidness or temperament change between first generation and 2nd with no selective breeding involved however, this can only be evaluated by practical experiment and a quantified way of comparing that temperament.
I simply ask the question, has he done such an experiment and if so please enlighten with some details to cross examine.

As Mr Stone has previously publicly stated, that there have been a number of wild caught snakes exported from W.A and their first generation captive bred offspring are more problematic than 2nd generation etc, then it would be logical to assume that he either, had wild caught W.A snakes in such an experiment himself or knows of someone else that have used these reptiles in such an experiment. As we clearly know what species have been exported and had captive breed offspring off of most, we know his claim is flawed and hence the questions.
Those that bleat that this subject is done to death then you have the choice to never view this thread again. I am betting you still do.

Cheers Dave
