Biggest compliment we’ve received on this episode yet😂

One of the better interviews,
I can't believe someone could successfully keep and breed snakes without UV lighting, and bioactive or giant naturalistic cages. Who would've thunk it?
Collectors like to make things so hard. In captivity, the majority of snake "species" are all bred in essentially the same way. It's repetition and plugging a new "species" in. It's very basic, What works for most pythons also works for cobras, boas, crotalids, and colubrids ........there's nothing too tricky about it.
Most collectors live in a world that is 25% fact, 25% myth, and 50% their interpretation of fact and myth. The consensus "correct" answers are often the result of a manufactured consensus.
If you successfully breed one chondro to another, you haven't produced mutts or crosses or anything other than pure chondros. Taxonomy has as much scientific credibility as Cryptozoology.

Thanks for watching and the thorough comment with your thoughts! A couple things I wanna touch on with your comment:
1) I agree that collectors have put breeders under a microscope and have leant to making things complex for breeders and often now what we see is judgement casted on breeders. I wanted to add that it’s important for us to acknowledge that keepers that don’t breed and have a few animals should absolutely be keeping their reptiles in the best matter that they can’t, AND that does not mean that a breeder has to replicate what the keepers do. Breeding reptiles is often not a full time job for 90% of breeders if not more. That means that they need to make things more efficient and effective to maintain optimal care for the animals to make sure they are healthy and thriving to reproduce and provide the keepers the animals they buy. It’s unrealistic for a keeper to think a breeder should house their animals in the way they do when breeders work with a large number of animals. Side note: when I say breeder I’m referring to someone that is profiting from their animals. Hobbyist that produce one clutch or two a year are not breeder in my eyes.
2) your last comment about the scientific community in regards to mutts and crosses…again validating that comment with my opinion on scientific community being driven by money and grants from the university side of things as well as being driven by egos that just want their name on a paper.

This progressively got more and more unhinged lmao

[@LetsTalkHerps]

Ah yes. The old argument that reproduction is the ultimate measurement of animal welfare. 👍🏻

[@ernesteison7979]

@@LetsTalkHerps Yeah, was that the argument I was making? It wasn't an argument in any way it was a tongue-in-cheek statement. But a valid point nonetheless. 😜
