People in the hobby allow nature to take its course all the time when breeding..I would actually have to let many reach maturity just for selective breeding purposes. I realize this will require a lot of time, space, and housing. I have a whole shop for those purposes. This is a long term, time, money and record intensive project im talking about, not just one pair and one sac..many pairs, many sacs..keeping full sacs just isn't going to be feasible, so yes, some will be culled...l think the sacrifices would be worth the gain. This is all just theory right now, its going to take a lot of preparation and money just to kick it off. I understand where you're coming from though. I don't like the idea of culling either, its just that it would be necessary.</p></blockquote><p></p>
