    Known Genetic Defects?

    I found this list:

    List of genetic defects/mutations in reptile morphs (from research on the internet, so some things may not be true):

    BALL PYTHONS
    Spider genes: any spider morph ball may suffer from mild to severe wobbles and thought to be lethal in homozygous form (doubling of the gene).
    Woma and Hidden Gene Woma: Wobbles
    Champagne: Wobble
    Super Sable: Wobble
    Powerball: Wobble
    Sable x Spider: severe wobbles and difficulty hatching
    Champagne x Spider: Lethal gene
    Spider x Woma: Lethal
    Champagne x Hidden Gene Woma: Severe Wobbles
    Pearl: often times lethal
    Super Champagne: lethal
    Desert: fertility issues in the females
    Caramel Albino: lower fertility in females and kinking
    Super Cinnamon/Super Black Pastel: Duckbill and more rarely kinking
    Super Lesser Platinum/Super Butter: bug-eyes
    Lesser Platinum x Piebald: Small eyes
    Banana/Coral Glow: the males may produce weird gender ratios
    Albino: Associated with eye problems, inbreeding, and perhaps lowered immunity.
    Blue Eyed Lucy: they may develop bug-eyes
    Lavender: in some blood-lines their may be kinking

    However that post was dated 2016 and I am just wondering if this is a comprehensive list. Saves people that are new to the hobby hitting landmines if they have basic Google skills.
