yes they can, snakes have no concept of incest. If its done too much there is increased risk of deleterious traits being line bred.

It is done but it's not something I would do. In breeding any animal will always run the risk of increasing recessive gene deformities.

just to ask a further question to the first...... could you introduce several different males to one female

eg. female amel could she be first introduced to a diffused 1 day then a snow the next day then etc etc, and if so what effect would it have??? at first i thought it was wrong but now im not sure

I was wondering, I know a lot of people will keep a pair back and breed them when they are old enough

Actually a lot of dog's wont breed with their parents and the same goes for lots of animals in the wild. Gene deformities are found in a lot of pedigree animals, such as German shepherd's have weak back legs and prone to going blind. While mongrels are generally healthier because they have a more diverse gene pool. But considering snakes have been around for over 100million years, I think they will be OK!
