I hate to sound just as negative as everyone else, but you seriously need to rethink things.

Your understanding of breeding is completely confused. You've taken either a lot of marketing hype from breeders or a lot of old wives tales way too seriously. Do a bunch of reading about genetics, selective breeding and the effects of inbreeding and I think you'll find that none of it works the way you think.

I'm also 95% sure your business model won't work anyway. If you sell the snakes cheap, no one will care about your guarantee. If they are expensive, you won't sell enough to make any money before they're "old hat".

Other than (theoretically) being sterile, what you've invented is called a corn snake and they are availible in hundreds of colors for less than what it would cost you to ship your super snake. Frozen rodents are also availible over the internet for less than what they will cost you to breed.

Oh, and if people took your guarantee seriously you'd be out of business real quick since no matter how healthy your snakes are or how good your mice are, most of the snakes will die in the first year because your customers didn't take care of them properly and there's no way you can prove it.
