Jesus christ thats a Specfic question BUT you wasnt specific enough

a Java grows huge and pretty fast as do tiger retics ( Tiger is one of Biggest Morphs Includign Amel )

yet a Seleyar or Ambon or even dwarfs like jampea, Kalaotoa, Kayuadi, Madu All grow diffrent sizes

so maybe cut down to a single Locality then again would be same as asking how much does a Human grow in inches per month or year haha

i think it all depends tbh in some cases i understand y and agree with it.
it helps when wanting pure locals, like with retics and bcc's.

but in other like normal royals its just not worth it at all.

i have a few wc snakes and have a few more coming. the wcs i have are retic locals and gettign sum wc amazon basin emerald tree boas mainly to bring new bloodlines into the market.

also all morphs are based from wc snakes so i kinsa have to agree with it

For general keepers not so good, For breeders Essential

my dwarf is WC

also my red tails was WC and only would have a WC male to breed to, to keep blood lines pure

to many red tails in UK have to much common bred into them etc

also needed for Retic localities to Keep dwarfs dwarfs etc and so on

I disagree with any wild born animal being sold to the public and in some cases even to breeders. Zoos manage to keep a healthy breeding stock by moving their animals from zoo to zoo, perhaps breeders could do the same. I own no WC, I can safely say all my 33 exotics are CB. I'm not a lover of Morphs either so always look out for originals.

That should get a debate going.

i would never sell a wc to a member of the public , but to be used as breeding stock is essential, at the end of the day all captive snakes have coem from wc amimals . maybe one day we wont need to take animals from the wild but that day is not here yet.

i totally agree with the miving animals on part that is a great idea ot sure it wuld ever catch on but would be good if it did
