Default Why is it wrong

Hi - What would be the result of breeding two albino boa's together - I understand its not the done thing but why is that?
furthermore is the breeding of two snow boa's equally as bad? (that also goes for salmons sunglows etc)

These are just thingd I wanted to know, not really for any other reason than pure curiosity.

Cheers

Chris

Breeding an albino to albino increases the risk of deformed babies.
