Morph/species related illness?
I was just having a conversation with my mom about breeding for particular looks in animals having a part in some of their diseases, illnesses, arthritis and such (like hip dysplasia in some larger dogs ect. which is why my mom likes mutts) is there anything like this with reptiles? Things that happen because humans breed the herps to get them look a certain way, like the scale-less snakes or bearded dragons. Or albinos. These animal typically wouldn't make it in the wild because a natural barrier or camouflage has been taken away (which I am cool with as long as they are kept in captivity) but is there anything associated with these conditions in captivity (like more likely to have cancer ect.) Or is it still too early to say?
I'm just curious and I'm greatful for any replies ^.=.^
