True, but if that's the case, then the issue is breeding. To have a recessive trait such as that, the inbreeding of lines to keep up with public demand must be astounding. All it takes to avoid it, is a few females & 2-3 males per female. 1-on-1 breeding to ensure diversity. Each female can have a clutch with each male. Then cross clutches with different parents. The other possible issue is incubation temps. I've seen/heard of snakes having all sorts of issues, when the temps vary more than 2*f. Including being hatched without eyes.
