Just wondering peoples thoughts on as the title suggests?
If we have a stubborn problem feeder that would not last long in the wild, eventually get it going (remains smaller compared to other sibs), breed it even with another past problem feeder, would this make more weaker snakes down the track in captivity? Basically is this a hereditary thing?
Also noticed the thread Piping eggs by waterrat. (good thread by the way) If we are giving these snakes a helping hand especially the weaker ones, then breeding them down the track are we not creating weaker bloodlines?
I know that in captivity vs the wild is a different kettle of fish, and that heredicts come to play, just interested in peoples thoughts. No right or wrong answers just hopfully a civilised thread.
If anyone has any info please post away.
cheers
