Don't know whether this post is through or not but I'll throw my two cents in anyway. These B grade animals are getting sold for hundreds less to people who may not have a chance at owning one otherwise. Let's say these people were to breed this one eyed/no-eyed boa. What would they breed it to, a het or a normal probably which would be great, spreading out the gene pool even further. Of course you wouldn't want to breed it with a sibling or closely related boa but why not outcross it? And if you are continually coming up with these abnormalities bring in some fresh blood. Knowing breeders will hopefully strive to produce only the best and inform potential customers of any defects. Unless the babies are unhealthy in some way let them go to someone who can appreciate them for what they are. How many of us 20 years ago would have given our left...arm to get our hands on say an albino burm. Be informed. Know where your stock comes from.
