sounds good to me nige, if people want a garanteed feeder they can wait and pay full price!

sounds good. are you doing it with all your hatchlings? or a percentage of them? just wondering for the times when we need a specific sex for a certain snake. Sounds good though

The "haters", as you eloquently put it, surely would only disagree with selling like this if it caused more stress or problems to the animals involved - if it doesn't, then there's no reason to object to it.

Do you know if corns sold out-of-the-egg are more or less likely to become non-feeders or otherwise act in a stressed manner compared to corns kept with their breeder until they're older?

I guess you'd also need to make sure that anyone buying corns out of the egg was experienced enough to care for them too, an inexperienced newbie with an out-of-the-egg baby would not be the best combination - far better they get something that is guaranteed feeding and so that bit easier to keep on with.

not sure where the stress would come from, i think me and you have had this chat before.. EVERY snake i have is boxed seperately, and you get any details of hets with the snake... as soon as the snakes hatch they dont see another snake again until they breed... so thats that theory out of the window.
as i have stated somewhere in this lot already, they are all likely to be good feeders anyway, i'm not sure how i would KNOW that they would all be bad feeders straight from the egg to be honest.., so not sure where you are coming from with that one?
obviously this would be for experienced people only, as i have said also in the text there would be a minimum amount, which in truth is likely to be far more than any newbie is likely to be adventurous enough to try anyway.
so just to clear up, there is no reason to believe that you would not get a massive % if not all feeding right away (like every other year)
that should have cleared that up, anymore questions please ask..
its not a definate that i will do it, it will just make things easier for me at a busy time.
