one-eyed snake

[Ham]

i have found someone selling a cinny that was born with one eye, and my mate is interested in buying it, but it would be for breeding perposes.
i wanted to know am i right in telling him that you could not breed a snake that was born with a deformity as there is a high chance that the deformity can be passed on as it was born with it, or am i copletley wrong and it is safe as it is just to do with that snake??
thanks

It depends on whether the deformity was genetic or malformation while the embryo was developing in the egg. I am not an expert on the subject so I hope someone else responds to this post, however I do know that if it is a genetic condition than you most definitely do not want to breed the snake.
