I was not sure where to put this but I hope someone labels it important.
For years i have been telling people CBB specimens in sterile environments will have weaker immune systems, turning normal parasites into fatal ones.
As always human research is far more current and advanced than reptile research, but immune systems react very similar. Mammals biggest advantage is passing on the immune system agents while nursing.

since reptiles need to come in contact with bacteria, and can not receive antibodies from their parents, perhaps we should re- think the Tupperware, paper towel set ups, and the genetic eye candy snakes. We are merely forcing them to evolve into a weaker species.
