		<description>Your statistical production would be the same with either of those pairings.  The question of female use is not whether either of those males is a good choice to breed to her but whether or not you have a male more valuable than those to put to her.  If financial value is not your metric then consider the &lt;insert what you value here&gt; of the pairing to determine if it&#039;s the best direction in which to go.  Either pairing you asked about is a genetic winner.</description>

		<description>Nice article!

Which pairing should give me the best result based on the following scenario:

Pastel pied male x spinner blast female

                              or

Spinner blast male x Pastel pied female

                       ???????</description>

		<description>Yeah yeah guns are horrible and they kill people. These comments show how easily people can be set in their ignorance. this is the thinking that will get our snakes taken away from us when people say &quot;snakes? those scary slithery things that can murder you with poison and choke your children to death? HORRIBLE! BAN THEM!&quot;

Nobody seems to be mentioning that knifings happen MUCH MUCH higher in the UK, especially per capita compared to the united states. I dont know if any of you have been attacked with a knife, but I have, and I can tell you, I&#039;d rather be shot than stabbed to death.

I live in the united states currently, and the state that I&#039;m in (NH) has one of the most lax gun laws, I could go out now and buy a hand gun and not need a carry permit as long as it isn&#039;t concealed, and if it is, its a 1-2 week application for $10 they have to give me within 2 weeks or I can prosecute whoever I submitted my app to.

There is no specific law for purchasing guns at a specific age in NH, you could go buy a long gun at 16 if you wanted. Did i mention i live in the lowest violent crime state in the entire country? In fact, violent crime per capital is lower than the UK as well.  But they could if they wanted to. The town im in now, i drive 9 miles to work, i pass a gun factory and THREE gun stores. There were 18 per 100K people violent crimes in my town. The national average is 328 per 100K. 

I grew up in MA, one of the stricted states when it comes to gun laws, The town i grew up in (a very nice upscale town on cape cod) had 309/100K last year. One of my friends was killed and his car stolen when i was 17 by a man who had a gun he obtained illegally. You think he cared about gun laws? The sad thing, is his father was a &quot;gun nut&quot; and if he lived in NH, I guarantee you he&#039;d have had a gun in his truck when he was held up.

But anyway. your mileage may vary. criminals will still find ways to murder people, why not let law abiding citizens be able to defend themselves on an equal ground than someone who purchased a firearm illegally..</description>

		<description>I carry concealed when I buy groceries.  I carry when I carry when I go to the bank.  I carry when I go answer the door and discover that it is just a girl scout trying to sell some cookies.  Yes, if you see me on any given day you can assume that  there is a gun about 2 seconds away from being in my hand.  That shouldn&#039;t concern you any more than the few hundred million missles that are driven by incompetent people every day.

People like me are NOT the ones that any society needs to worry about.  People like me are the ones who MIGHT just save your life when confronted by a junkie looking for his next hit.  Or the degenerate gang bangers looking to kill or rape you just for an initiation.  Or the insane group of extremist PETA freaks trying to set your house/breeding facility on fire.

Wake up people!</description>

		<description>Looking back at every expense since 2010 was a real eye opener for us.  We&#039;ve spent almost 25K on snakes, and 35K on other expenses.  The huge bulk of that was startup costs (racks/tubs/tstats etc).  And even though our future expenses should only be a few thousand a year, I don&#039;t see how we can ever catch up quick enough to even break even.  Never, if we count the time investment.  It doesn&#039;t help that most of our initial morphs are definitely not the ones that I would choose to buy now, had I the opportunity to start over.  Then again, I certainly had NO idea we would be dropping 25K on snakes at the time either.

Time will tell I suppose, but I&#039;m not optimistic.  One thing is for sure... I see it being next to impossible to stay profitable without continuously upgrading your stock.</description>

		<description>&quot;And it been prooved long time ago that the more people carry gun, more people will use it, more chance of using it and more criminal violence there is.&quot;

Proved by who?  Using what as a measure?  Let me guess:  If I don&#039;t get it, you can&#039;t explain it to me.  Anybody who is enlightened and intelligent knows it to be true and if I don&#039;t agree... well, you know.

An by percent (%)... come on.  Everybody can find a statistic to support their position.  For instance the percentage of citizens who are victim of assault in the UK is much higher than it is in the USA.  I can defend my position by saying that people are less willing to perpetrate an assault in the USA because they are more aware of the fact that their intended victim is carrying.  In the UK, not so much.  As an attacker in the UK I will carry a gun but I know none of my victims will be armed.

And the UK has a much higher percentage of rape victims than the United States.  Gosh, I say, if women were armed they would be better able to fend off their attackers.  Women in the UK have been stripped of their right to defend themselves.  

See?  Percentages are bullshit.  We can all use them to satisfy our perspectives. Anti-gun people always try to throw shootings in people&#039;s faces while they ignore other numbers that might tell them something else.</description>

		<description>I am with you on the fact that all people in this reptile hobby shouldnget together against theses acts. I am ok with reglementation but neger with total ban. 

But I think you are totally out of your mind to compare snakes to guns. Gun&#039;s owner do kill peole, not snakes. 
And it been prooved long time ago that the more people carry gun, more people will use it, more chance of using it and more criminal violence there is. 

Look at all the country who have banned guns, they all have less crime than in the states or other country where it is legal. And by less, i speak of %. 

To come back to reptiles, I think what is going on in the US is bad but is directly related to the mind of society it is. Anything to prevent others to suffer. Prevention for the freedom of some.
The problem is nothing in regards to freedom. 
I always tought that someone who knows the fact will always make the right decesion if correctly educated. At least in a society, but misinformation IS the problem and INFORMATION IS THE KEY OF THIS BATTLE. 

Inform and win</description>
