what would happen if you bread a male snake to his mother? or a female snake to her father?

what are the consequences, do the snakes come out retarded or messed up in any way, or are they ok?

just wondering.

Thanks

Its all a chance. Some people swear by breeding snakes back to the parents, and in some cases, you have to do so to prove out a trait to be genetic. Other times, I believe mostly with albino breedings, people do have deformities such as missing eyes, kinked tails, etc.

I think as long as you aren't breeding albino x albino, there shouldn't be a problem with it. I wouldnt recommend doing it generation after generation, but once shouldn't hurt anything.
