lethal and deleterious genes
Out of the many reptiles being bred these days, I know that some species have morphs that have deleterious/defective genes (is that the right terminology?) and some lethal. The ones I know that either cause defects or are lethal are:
Ball python: Spider, woma/pearl, desert
Leopard gecko: Enigma
Carpet python: Jaguar / Super Jaguar
Boa constrictor: Super Motley
Please correct me if I'm wrong with any of these. I got most of this info from googling. Are there more defects that a potential purchaser, or someone wanting to breed, should know?
