BEL unknown genes multiple defects. Concerning?
Hi guys first post! I today purchased a snake. I heard about it through a brothers co-worker they had BEL female they only wanted $80 for!!! I saw a cell phone picture and snapped on it!! Upon recieving the snake it has a few defects... No wobble, seems to respond fine and motor functions all seem well. But... it has one bug eye, one eye that seems sunk in more so then normal. (may possibly be my perception from one bug eye.) It has slight kinking or lumps right after the head but nothing too bad. Also most concerning to me is what appears to be scale swirling on the ventral scales a little higher than halfway up her body. I am looking for educated opinions if anything is to be concerning or if any of this would affect possible breeding down the line.

Obviously that's a very very cheap price for a BEL. And that's why you got her at that price because there are some obvious what most people would call, imperfections. Personally I think she's beautiful. To me that would make her unique and I would love her even more but I am not an expert on advising if anything will cause her problems I don't think so but somebody else can maybe answer that. I would not buy her to breed.

If you see multiple visible defects on the outside-it would be logical to assume that there are also internal defects that can not be seen.

I'm guessing she's a Super Lesser with those eyes. Did they even tell you what morphs she is? Keep her and love her but definitely no reason to breed her since you have no idea what's wrong internally. I only watched from my phone but almost looked like that swirl was higher from where her umbilicus is. Is that where it is?
