With you calling yourself genetics breeder you should know this. And with you way of thinking i wouldnt be making a website promoting ball breeding if your against working with morphs that have some genetic flaws cause that will cut you out of about 50% of the market.
Oh ok, that's what I was asking. Those are very good odds, for a caramel. What line do you have?

It wouldn't be close to 50% of the morphs that I cut out. I would cut out anything with neurological or mental disorders, and anything with problems that can at all affect the animal functioning, no matter how minor. If some have very minor bug eyes, but so minor that it was almost not there, that is, in my opinion, alot better that an animal with the possibility of corkscrewing/spinning. I still would be against anything more major than that.

Also, there are still many species with very few morphs, or only the wild phase, so breeding only non-problematic morphs is completely normal. There are even people that only breed normal ball pythons.
Stinkpot turtles, green anoles, rosy boas, and many species of tortoises don't even have morphs. People still breed those.
Then there are still other species that have only non-problematic morphs, probably because there are not many morphs. Brazilian rainbow boas only have 2 genetic morphs, anerythristic and hypomelanistic. Then there are a few line bred genes, but only those 2 genetic morphs, plus the ghost, an anerythristic hypomelanistic.
