^ 100% to what y'all said about spider ball pythons. Any morph linked to neurological issues should not be bred IMO. It's unethical.

I am getting a new Royal Python breeding pair later this year! I'm looking at a bumblebee and an albino piebald pair, though I think I'll truly decide at the convention. I really like Bumblebees, though it's a spider combo. I'm grabbing a piebald no matter what; it's been my dream to own one for about fifteen years now.

There's actually a LOT of genes that cause the wobble, not just spider. Woma is rising in popularity in my region since spider is "bad" but it has the same issues.
Blue-Eyed Lucys are at risk depending on the gene combo used to make the color, as well....
Hey, does anyone have bearded dragons? If so, can you shoot me a PM about their diet? Got offered one with a setup by someone who can't keep it and would like to know more before I consider accepting.

Quality of life > appearance. In every situation! I can agree that they are very pretty but it's just not fair to breed something that you know will have a health issue when there are infinite alternative snakes to breed
