For me it's simply a defect that I don't wish to propagate. It would be the same for any other snake with a major defect such as a kinked spine or born without eyes. I'm sure they can live reasonably well and I wouldn't cull it if it could lead a semi-normal life, but I feel that they shouldn't be propagated just because they happen to have a different paint job.
Nobody knows what it's like for the snake to live with that condition, but I imagine that it's difficult for even a primitive animal like a snake. Imagine if you had a condition where you couldn't control your basic motor skills?
There are so many other morphs out there, why continue to breed snakes that have an obvious detrimental defect?
