from what ive gathered, one or two generations of inbreeding are fine, but then you should do outcrossing.
something like an inbreeding coefficient can be calculated, and with the right ways of outcrossing that number can be reset to zero. When parent A and parent B have completely different ancestors, the offspring will be back down to an inbreeding coefficient of zero, even if both parent snakes on their own do have an inbreeding coefficient. Many reputable breeders make use of that "reset button" and regularly do outcrossing to keep up the genetic health, and this gets easier to do with a bigger collection.
a calculator for inbreeding coefficients i found, it also lists which ancestor contributed how much of the genetics:

if you keep doing it for multiple generations, the first thing that will happen is that fertility rates go down. but one or two generations is generally accepted, and often done, especially in recessive or double recessive projects.
The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.
