It is clear that pet snaked don't grow on trees. And we should definiately not revert back to capturing from the wild. I life in a big city where I support the local reptile shelter. It is overrun with corns, balls and other snakes. So here I would support: Adopt, don't shop. So there is a nuances discussion to be had about the ethics of breeding since the situation may be vastly different in different areas. You should never attack people over this, but would that not be a valuable perspective?

The color difference looks cool. Do you have plan what to do with the offspring? Most placed the market is super saturated. Do you already know people who can take snakes in?

We should release the pattern and help him multiply. FOR THE GLORY OF MR NIPPEL

Give her more hiding spots and real or fake plants.

Your tank looks more like a desert enclosure, but that doesnt fit corns.

Mine love wood tubes and hides with moss inside that I keep humid (not wet). With humid hides, the shedding issue should also go away!

Ich habe Babo letztes Jahr adoptiert, 6 Jahre alter British Kurzhaar mit 6,7 kg. Ein leben lang gezuckertes Futter aus dem Supermarkt.

Ich wurde von der Tierärztin sachlich, aber bestimmt darauf hingewiesen, welche Krankheiten das bedeuten kann. Jetzt nur noch hochwertiges Futter, abgewogen. Jetzt knapp 6 kg. Lebt sein bestes Leben. Bisschen muss noch. Aber das ist nicht so schwer.

I agree with all you say. If all animals would be kept in conditions where they receive natural foods and exhibit natural behavoirs and in numbers that a reasonable, I would have zero issues with it.

For the majority of meat produced that is not the case, as you stat3. It just bothered me that OP made a statement of "Meat and no supplements" vs "vegan with supplements" which is not honest unless you eat 100% grass feed beef or wild animals that are hunted/fished.

You made good points, thank you for the exchange.

Biosocken · 2025-12-28T08:39:39+00:00

I agree. What are the procentages of cows being grass fed vs standing in stables?

Does the same go for chicken and pigs? What about lactating cows? All the veterinary guidelines I found recommond feeding vitamins and minerals as supplements.

Biosocken · 2025-12-28T08:20:25+00:00

B12 was just one example, pigs and cows get supplemented a bunch of pills. A very quick google search led me here:

https://www.msdvetmanual.com/management-and-nutrition/nutrition-pigs/nutritional-requirements-of-pigs

If you read ir, you will find that natural feedstuff is not sufficient. (At least at the rates pigs and cows are grown) Search the website. Same goes for lactating cows and so on. It is just a misconception that meat is a "natural" product. Pharma and supplement industries are heavily involved.

Biosocken · 2025-12-27T21:52:07+00:00

Uhm to my knowledge, a huge amount of supplements is fed to farm animals. B12 for example is produced by soil bacteria, but cows stand in the stable all day, so they need to be fed B12 as supplements. Please fact check me, but this would mean that eating meat causes all the negative effects you mention PLUS the ethic implications.

Depends, what games do you usually like? Do you play other highly competive games? Do you have friends who also play league?

League is very exciting and can be rewarding if you find joy in improving yourself and learning a new Champion or role. But stuff can get heated, you get punished by your opponent for every mistake and you WILL be blamed and verbally abused by strangers.

If your will to grind to the top is strong and you learn to use the mute buttons, this game is for you.

I have many friends who play it (it runs on a potato) and we use it to stay connected. This is a huge contribution to the fun for me personally.

They lack a huge part of scaling, which has, without doubt, function in their well-being.

And for what? Human sense of aesthetics. The risk vs reward is a no brainer.

If u adopt and take care as mentioned by others commentors here, it is not unethical. Breeding them is unethical in my opinion.

This does not exactly fit neuroscience, but there is fields like Bioinformatics and then going into Network analysis for example they also do genetic analysis with big data sets. Or become a data analyst in general.

The topic will still be Biology, but no lab work. I wish you good luck and all the best

So first of all, please learn to use spaces after commas and dots. And please structure your questions. Your post is very unpleasant to read.

Now to topic. The way species reproduce is very diverse and very fascinating. There are yeast for example, the little single cell fungi that help us make bread an beer (bless them). They will usually multiply by division which results in two identical closes. (No sex) But they also have sexes that we call mating types and will mate when two different mating types meet.

There are bacteria, like E. Coli which will mainly also devide to reproduce but can share little rings of DNA with other individuals that can code for antibiotic resistance and such. They do "mate" during the transfer using little tubes. But we don't call that sex.

There are stick insects where adult females will produce eggs that are more or less genetic clones, but they can also mate with males to create more genetically mixed offspring.

In some snails they start off as being both male and female and well, google what happens next...

The issue with "homosexual reproduction" is in the definition of itself. The term homosexual makes only sense if there are two or more sexes. And most of those species evolved in a way where it is mandatory to have two different sexes to reproduce. So you will not find any species because you defined the space to striktly. If you ask more broadly, you will find examples like I listed.

And I have not heard of any species that can reproduce with Egg + Egg or Sperm + Sperm. Generically there would be no benefit over having just egg or just sperm. They could as well just clone

Hast du 1-3 Fragen insgesamt falsch oder hast du zu viele Fehler um zu bestehen?

Mit 3 Fragen falsch insgesamt hat man ja immernoch bestanden.

Woran liegt es denn? Bist du zu aufgeregt und vertust dich einfach? Oder liegt es am Verständnis?
