Yea the bug eyes might make it a bit harder for them to see but we baby them so much in captivity that it's not a big deal at all imo. Spiders wobble but tons of people still breed them. Should we stop breeding spiders too? In some breeding projects a super lesser could be really useful. Het Russos are ugly imo. Sure you have a white snake but the combos you make won't be as cool as the ones you could make with the lesser gene.
Very true and ultimately its up to you, the breeder, to decide if the possible disabilities are worth the genetic possibilities. In captivity most deformities arent an issue especially ones that are mostly aesthetic such as bug eyes. Personally I avoid creating super lessers, super butters, and buter lessers because Id rather avoid a deformity if I can even if the deformity doesnt affect the snake in a negative way. But that is just my opinion.
