Snake Articles (mostly Cadmium Morph news)

The articles on this page will cover my Cadmium Morph breeding project as well as other snake related experiences I have.

Back in the day (this term now refers to anytime before 2007. 2007 being when the internet was introduced to our phones and the world became a ridiculously smaller place than ever before.

It goes like this:

#1 everything before 10,000BCE = all people everywhere appear to have the same technology: stone axes, flint arrow tips, animal hides for clothing (we'll discuss gobekli tepe and randall carlson's theories later)

#2 starting 5,000 BCE the techno-arc begins it's rotation around the world introducing organized society and bureaucracy to humans in the middle east, south america and china. The first (historical) societies figure out how to organize for mass agriculture and complex societies setting the stage for everything we learned about in church and public school before the 21rst century.

#3 about 2,000 years ago the organized societies of the western world set up a template for organized society that will be scattered by the mongol hordes and Persian empire several centuries later.

#4 <1,000 years ago the devastation of the organized western world by the fall of the old empires leads to a new, more-free type of human movement and a new form of imperialism. The age of modern architecture, science and mathematics is born over the course of 5 centuries.

#5 ~100 years ago computational mathematics and mass communication begins to take hold and an almost modern socio-evolutionary change begins to occur.

#6 ~60 years ago: we mark the Earth with our energy consumption in the form of nuclear explosions and plastic consumption

#7 ~10 years ago: the age of data takes hold and we become what we are now. The luckiest people ever to be jobless and watching great TV and youtube videos.

This brings us to today. There is so much data available that anyone who WANTS to learn can make themselves an academic and anyone who WANTS to be lied to can accept the fake paradigm and consume the carbs. It was about 10 years ago that I was so upset with fake-giant-snake internet crap that I posted the following picture online with the f&^king disclaimer that it was fake.

No one seemed to notice.



Filling in the blanks.

This might be a tough post but here it goes.

My mother moved us to the country in 1984. She quickly took over the idea of raising and slaughtering all our own meat. Her (forgive the phrase) pet project was chickens and she quickly decided to cross-breed the traits she like into a predictable chicken that gave her the eggs and meat that she wanted. It took several years but she ended up with a unique breed of chickens that met her requirements. That's a story in itself, but now we must jump ahead a decade or so to when I started raising snakes and found that some were easier to feed and breed than others. I quickly decided to play with unique animals I found in nature to get something new.

Now, I grant you that the modern era is filled with anti-GMO types who deny they ever smoked pot while telling us that the illuminati uses chem-trails to make the minorities buy drugs from illegal immigrants but this isn't a sci-fi blog. It's a sci-life blog. And the reality is that I bred for recessive traits knowing full well that genetics work on a deeper level than phenotypes.

Need an example? Radiolab has a wonderful podcast about how the Russians bred foxes for calm behaviors and ended up with totally different coats. I could also show you how caloric intake directly affects when children reach puberty.  But no one cares about that. Even if I explain how trimming fruit tree tap roots get quicker fruit development. No one cares. We cling to insane ideas about evil GMO's poisoning us with genetically modified apples. FYI: all apples are genetically modified. All dogs, geese, pigs, cows, chickens, turkeys, etc are "genetically modified". If you really want to hear a tail of GMO's that will make your heart break just listen to this. The point is, I decided to play God in the same way as countless scores of humans before me and it paid off.

I caught, bought and selectively bred various animals of a single species and got something yet-to-fore unseen. I am proud of the fact that I live in a time and place to record this. I have no idea what happened to my mother's chickens but I bet that someone is enjoying the eggs and meat that resulted from her work. To date, only one person has bought any of my snakes and I am a year or two away from calling an end to this project and starting something new. This website will serve as the documentation of my tangential achievement.
