Thank you for the welcome!
I've been lurking about for a while now. Though I am relatively new to the snake breeding world, I am not new to breeding in general. I began with color breeding parakeets back when I was a teenager.....so that was a.. um... *blush* ...long time ago. *sheepish grin* I've been a bird breeder for years. Also dabbled in a few other things. Then I found ball pythons and WOW! I was hooked!
I have done quite a bit of reading about the various morphs of ball pythons and yes, the wobble in spiders, the kinks in caramels, etc ARE a result of inbreeding. In fact, based on what I have read, I could even point fingers to the breeders at fault. There are lines of spiders out there with no wobble. And with careful outcrossing, responsible breeders have bred cramels with no kinks. I suppose this should be a new topic. ... I'll do that.
