you are 100% correct that we don’t know for certain and that’s why it is up to each individual to determine their point of view on the matter. I personally have no opinion one way or the other because I have no experience with the morph and haven’t been working with Snakes long enough. I am just saying someone needs to ask themselves if the animal suffers at all.. of that person says yes they shouldn’t breed them.
if someone says to themselves, I HONESTLY don’t believe the animal has an negative affects to their quality of life due to this genetic issue, there is no problems with that person breeding in my eyes. I agree that no one will ever truly KNOW therefore it is highly dependent on the persons opinions and beliefs as to whether the animal experiences anything out of the ordinary.
the entire concept of ethics is solely based on opinions. Scientific facts say the snake has a neurological problem and personal opinions determines if it’s okay to breed that.
