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.
I'm curious, I remember from past conversations that you are a young man (15 if I remember correctly). You present yourself very well for 15. Very opinionated for your young age, but very well. How many ball pythons are you currently working with yourself? How many different mutations?
