inbreeding...

[Nafun]

Inbreeding is why all of my snakes are naturally occurring morphs. I think snakes are beautiful the way they are. Their coloring and pattern tell you a story about their environment and the history of the species.

Inbreeding is really just a lazy and cheap way of creating morphs without regard to the impact it will have on the species as a whole, or the quality of life of the snake.
Case in point? Dalmatians.

You know, you sit here and say these things about morph keepers and breeders but yet you own a jungle carpet python. You do understand that Australia hasn't exported any new specimens for decades. This would mean that your gene "pool" isn't much more than a gene "puddle" at this point. I am talking of course legally exported animals. There might be a few that have "slipped" out.
