There are plenty of people out there with a snowball project (for example) that you wouldn't NEED to cross siblings however it's the easiest way for some. I know a lot of breeders do breeding loans and straight trades for genetically compatible snakes so they can add new blood to their projects but there are those that don't. Yes it happens and a lot, sometimes it's necessary sometimes it's just convenient. I'm surprised that there aren't more snakes know for "spinning or kinks" but i suppose out in the wild there is much inbreeding too so maybe they are actually designed for it.
