i have a predisposition to never want any spiders or morphs

[kxr]

This is my issue with it honestly, that people are like, well only "some" of them are screwed up and wobbling all over so it's fine? 9/10 turn out fine but the last one is a trainwreck so let's play the odds and who cares about the bad ones because they aren't the majority? Clearly most of them live fine, but it's the ones who don't that concern me more, their lives matter just as much don't they? Idk, seems like a sad attitude to me but I don't breed. I try to stay out of the morph game entirely and wouldn't want a wobbly snake but maybe that's holdover from my other animals where reputable people aim to breed for the best and healthiest but bybs often go for defective flashy new stuff. I used to really like caramel albinos when I first got in the hobby until I found out they kink and that probably colored my attitude towards morphs a lot too.

I hate to post this video as it is somewhat graphic but it really addresses your concerns. I believe this animal is a chocolate butter ghost. None of those genes are known to have defects as far as I know however there is clearly something very wrong with this animal.

If there's a 1% chance of hatching a ball python regardless of the genes at play should we avoid breeding them? I understand this is your argument taken to a ridiculous extreme but the point is there is always a chance of defects regardless of the genes at play.
