I understand, I LOVE BELs, and they were always one of the things that made me sort of daydream of breeding in the far off future

I just know with my luck I would end up with one BEL out of the clutch and he/she would end up being ridiculously deformed. That's sort of why I made this post, I wanted to know exactly how rare it seems in most people's experiences--out of how many clutches did they see even a single snake with a problem, etc. Partially to calm my own nerves about the subject. I figure the deformities are fairly uncommon, or at least the dangerous ones are or we would hear a lot more about it! But it's always nice to hear straight from a breeder if they have issues or not.
