"It generally tends to result in a wide range of minor to severe defects. Below average growth rate and adult size in many "high end" Cornsnake morphs. Bug eyed leucistic Texas Ratsnakes. Albino boa's born with one or both eyes missing. Scaleless Texas Ratsnakes. The list goes on and on."

If these anomalies are seen by the breeder, and then the said animals (and parents) are not allowed to breed or culled completley for humane reasons. Wouldnt this be the same as natural selection or are the variables of nature much more complex?
