2026 is the year of sharing opinions about issues in the reptile keeping hobby. We overlook so much cruelty and for what? a shiny new combo morph ball python that looks visibly inbred? The reptile keeping hobby frequently gets a lot of hate and sometimes I can’t blame people when we are still doing things like keeping adult animals in chests of drawers, intentionally creating morphs with genetic neurological defects, and acting like the animals we apparently love aren’t living things. #reptiles #ballpythons #crestedgecko #leopardgecko #reptilebreeder
