Re: Very rare piebald caught in the wild

Isn't it dangerous for the snakes that are born to be inbred? Ya know like lesser immune, other mutations you don't want, ect. ect. Or are reptiles "immune" to the dangers?

It takes several generations for the defects to surface.

I have a couple albino garters that are F5 and they are just now getting bug eyes.

I will not breed mine, the offspring would most likely all have bug eyes.

This snow is F4, and has one bug eye, the other is normal.
