    Morphs and health problems
    Do morphs have any health problems because of their genetics? I wasn't sure if the genetics only affect the pigmentation, etc, or if anyone had heard of any other problems with them.

    Hi,

    I think there are a few that are supposedly more succeptible to problems. I'm only reporting what I've read though so the more experienced people will be able to answer more fully. The ones I've heard mentioned are;

    Spiders and spinning.

    Caramels and kinking.

    Super cinnamons and shorter snouts ( I think - never seen an example).


    Hopefully someone else has better info?

    Would that be considered an overbite?

    no the upper and lower jaw are the same size there is just a bulbous appearance to it. and overbite (which can happen) is when the lower jaw is considerably smaller or shorter than the top. :D:D

    Also, Super Womas aka the Pearl have extreme motor issues and tend to die out very quickly out of the egg.

    From what I have heard, some of these defects are arrising because of breedings involving siblings.... brother to sister breeding.
