If the animal is healthy and only has a cosmetic mutation that does not affect it's quality of life than I see no reason to cull. Like many, if not most breeders, we started because of our love of the animals, breeder quality or not. I wouldn't think twice about culling an animal in pain or with other quality of life problems but to purposefully kill a perfectly healthy animal because of a slight mutation that most likely won't be passed on is a little much. There are many people who have no interest in breeding that would be happy to take that dragon strictly as a pet. Assuming it is healthy and eating now, you absolutely made the right decision.
