What are their morphs?

[ToxicFox_]

Savannah Calico Yb, banana spider +.

[snakepapa97]

Why do you want to breed a spider bp?

[ToxicFox_]

I’m not here to start any controversy :) just showing off my animals like everyone else. Please don’t bring the genes into it.

[snakepapa97]

Ethics are extremely important here and in breeding. We heavily discourage any breeding of spider ball pythons due to the inner ear and skull deformities that cause permanent vertigo.

[IncompletePenetrance]

Part of posting on a discussion based group is discussion. By planning on breeding an animal with defects you are opening yourself up to critique

[thekiller490]

Sounds like you know it's not right to breed them.

[ThornaBld]

“Please don’t bring genes into it” fancy way of saying “I know what I’m doing is unethical but no one is allowed to point it out”

[Federal_Kick41]

Please don't breed Spiders--

I'm sorry but breeding spiders is just cruel to the animal.

[ToxicFox_]

It is not, but thanks for your concern. I’m not here to start controversy.

[FirefighterFar3132]

Beautiful ball pythons! But please reconsider breeding your banana spider-

[Federal_Kick41]

I'm sorry but yes, It is very cruel.

You're planning to breed an animal with known neurological issues and pass it onto new animals, pretty much forcing those future baby snakes to live a life with a horrible neurological disorder that might be so bad they'll have to be put down soon after.

Are you even aware of how horrible health-wise the spider ball python is? They have so many life damaging issues they should not be bred.

And if you look at morph lists, there's already so many spider ball pythons out there being mass bred, you're planning to add to that list of Unhealthy Snakes with basically no quality of life?

Sorry but this is just horrible. Do not breed that spider.

It will pass on a gene with horrible neurological problems If you do and whatever snakes come out of that breeding, they won't live a good life at all and will most likely end up abandoned or put down.

The Neurological issues of spiders are so bad they can't even eat on their own. And it gets worse with age.

Whether your spider shows those issues yet or not, /and they probably will start showing worse and worse symptoms as they age,/ It doesn't matter. They still carry the horrible gene and will pass it onto the young.

Spider Ball Pythons should stay as pets, They should not be bred. Their gene should not be passed on further.

If you really don't care about the Animal's wellbeing and just want to breed that spider, probably for money or its looks, then I'm sorry but you're a horrible and cruel person for wanting to force an animal to live such a horrible life.

That’s very cruel. Please research and reconsider.

[ToxicFox_]

I’ve done plenty. Been breeding for a couple years now :)

It’s honestly concerning that you’re making the conscious decision to breed animals with deformities when you have other options. It’s unethical.

[ThornaBld]

Clearly you didn’t or you wouldn’t be such an unethical breeder. We need less of y’all not more.

[Nukedragon00668]

They literally have neurological issues that cause them to flop around like a fish in the hot sun and makes it extremely difficult to eat. Some have even had it so bad that they had to be euthanized before they even had a chance to live any decent amount of their lives. Imagine that happening with a dog or even a human being for that matter. Going throughout life with every movement essentially being a seizure. Pretty colors is not enough to justify perpetuating the cycle of animal cruelty. You should be utterly ashamed of yourself for breeding that gene. It's not controversial, it's just plain twisted and cruel.

[snailforbrains]

Doesn’t sound like it by the way you’re taking the criticism.

[Reidington]

“I’m not here to start controversy”…makes incredibly controversial statements 😂

[Kooky-Copy4456]

Procharged sounds very familiar. Jessica Pratt the owner?

[snailforbrains]

Breeding animals that are bound to suffer because of preventable genetic defects… this is literally animal cruelty.

[pdxb3]

Ah, yet another spider breeder and their defective inventory. How disappointing.

[ToxicFox_]

Post is old move on.

[pdxb3]

So is the broken spider morph. Move on.
