That is the reason I chose to start this thread, so I could avoid these problems or if I do get one, know how to deal with them, like any other animal.
To be honest, I don't really care for the fat body of a royal/ball python(though the variety of morphs are pretty), too thick, proportions are weird to me. I would pick a slender snake over a thick, chubby looking one. (Though this might change in the future) and it seems that this is a species that has most of the problems (I'm thinking because it's been bred so much for all those morphs)

That's a good point. Morphs are a "break" in the gene. Technically they're like a deformity. So when you breed for deformities there are consequences. Its important to remember that all of the issues in any species that are the result of selective morph breeding are on a spectrum. Some mild some severe.
Saying that, carpets, boas, some lizards, can all have issues. The important thing is to know what you're getting yourself into whether you're breeding or purchasing.
