    I know the spider issue is separate since it's a neuro issues fully associated with the morph and proven to not go away with out-crossing. However originally albino boas were thought to be unhealthy, there were eye issues (missing eyes, bulging eyes), kinks, premature litters, albino females not producing... all things that would lead one to believe the morph is unhealthy. However years of out-crossing has stabilized the issues quite a bit and you hardly ever hear about these things happening and tons of healthy good litters have since been produced and female albinos breed now without issue. If, in the first 5 or so years of them being out, people all saw them as unhealthy would they have been 'banned'? What is the line of something being considered an 'unhealthy' morph? Can definitions change over time or once it's labeled bad - it's bad?
    I'm simply asking because I think it's a very interesting discussion
