Duckbilling is definitely not the worst of deformities, I believe. I cant speak as to whether a duckbilled ball python can have a good quality of life; however, I do know that kinking is much more severe. Heres a video by Ralph Davis depicting the kinked caramels that he keeps in his collection. Something interesting to note is that *some* of these not so severely kinked caramels can actually live a full life, and maybe even breed. However, some of them are so severely kinked that they need to be put down by the breeder

As for the super black pastel that stephan posted, to be honest I dont see the duckbilling there. Many people believe that some of the "duckbilled" super black pastels and cinnys arent actually duckbilled, its rumoured that the all black top of the head creates an illusion that makes it look like the top jaw is much bigger than the bottom. Although I still have no idea who is right!
