I'm not sure if it's the look of helplessness or what but they are so cute! I'd love to own one, but the controversy around it means I obviously couldn't!

This is just like deafness in dalmations, they are trying to breed it out :) sadley the process can sometimes seem cruel but its needed to create a SG free species x

Yes they live a normal life, they need to be kept at the lower end of the temp scale so they dont waste too much energy and use up all the food energy so quicky.
They are not cute and no you wouldnt want to own one, it is the most distressing thing I have ever seen, this is why its such a big deal to get rid of this gene.
Would you really want a snake that corkscrews and literally has no control of itself every time you go near it, they never slow down and they never grow out of it.
Its a shame there is no other way of testing for it :(
When we used to breed rabbits, we were part of a council and could only call them pedigrees if they had breeding history and then we rung them with an I'd code. Could there not be a way of setting up and number system with a certificate maybe proving that the corn is SG free? I know it would be hard, but it would be a starting point :)

nope as we dont know what ones are SG free, very few have been tested in Europe and in the UK, the SG issue is only going to get worse over the next few year though.
I do know a few folks that have SG free corns prevously tested, that is Scotsman, who wrote this thread, Special Corns (Johan van der Dussen / Neils) in Germaan and Holland respectively, also Adam Clark (Procorns) and myself if the UK all have tested animals. gazer free.
I have another photo of a Stargazer Corn but it isn't my corn... Am I aloud to post it just to show what it can do as I completely disagree with it...
what do you mean disagree with it? breeding and selling?
Yes. I find it horrible that this neurological mutation in corns is bred and sold.
There's a video on youtube of one being fed a live mouse which it takes forever to find and then it doesn't even constrict it, just bites the head and starts eating.

This is the video just to show how bad stargazers are affected...
@Georgina - I know I was just saying that I don't get why people find these fascinating... I know you own one and I'm not saying that you shouldn't as it's your choice but if someone offered me one for free I'd still say no...
