line breeding, inbreeding, selective breeding

[onedroplet]

Is there any evidence of inbreeding increasing the chances of neurological diseases? Considering there isn't much else we can tell is wrong with a snake since there isn't much room for physical deformities on the body of a snake.

I would say yes it does increase the chance because inbreeding tends to reduce the number of genes available within the population. So you reduce the number of genes what are you left with? It's kind of like why breeders inbreed ... to get the best of the best right?? ... well the worst of the worst could happen too.
