Many breeding combinations in nature produce both desirable and undesirable traits in animals but in nature the undesirable traits usually die before maturity so the gene is not passed on to future generations. These traits are passed on through alleles and inbreeding reduces the amount of alleles available increasing the chance of both desirable and undesirable traits occurring and out crossing can be done to introduce a new set of alleles to the line. I am not trying to argue with you about this because I think irresponsible breeders go too far with this and I am against it but think that the amount of reptiles that suffer from line breeding is very minimal if done correctly and also pointing out that in nature these traits surface as well but die off usually.I'm done arguing. If I have to explain how inbreeding is bad then I'm in the wrong thread. They are creating weaker animals, diluting the species and making them look completely different to the natural, normal form. How is that NOT bad?
