I was wondering if you could share your experience on this thread: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ct+documentaryOriginally Posted by TJ_Burton
I have first hand experience with what can happen when breeding for super cinnamons and it was covered by The Reptile Report: http://thereptilereport.com/super-ci...eason-why-not/
You can get variations in head/skull deformities including duckbills, mishaped heads, cleft jaws etc.
You can get severe and minor kinking of the spine etc.
You can get eye issues (usually stemming from skull deformity)
Of 5 supers produced in an 8 egg clutch, only 1 came out flawless. 2 were culled due to extreme deformity, and 2 were given away to friends as pets due to being completely unbreedable, but in survivable shape.
Super black pastels and black pastel cinnamons have also run into the same complications according to other breeders, although it hasn't been well documented and the frequency of these complications isn't known.
I started it wanting to document such complication and defects.
Thank you.
