The only reason i used dogs as an example is because they have been selective breeding them for much longer, 100's of years, as opposed to the 10-20 years people have been selective breeding ball pythons. Genetic flaws tend to take quite a few generations to rear their heads, and by then, it is usually much too late to do anything about it. My statement had nothing to do with comparing ball pythons to dogs, other than that they are animals that people breed.
