I know the odds are very low.. but it's always sort of a 'what if' thing. Besides.. how many people would really want to buy offspring from a one-eyed mother if they had other options? And would I be ethically obligated to inform buyers? I've read other threads where people were very down on breeding snakes with defects, but the thread was about inbreeding within morphs, which is a little different. There's a much bigger chance that the deformity would be genetic if it occured within a line that had been heavily inbred.
I have a couple other species I have for pets that I never plan to breed, even though they're perfectly healthy. But if you're not careful you might talk me into it, I like livebearers... She's not big enough yet at any rate. She also carries the dubious distinction of being my only snake out of 40 that eats live adult rodents, I just can't get her switched.
