It doesnt have to be due to inbreeding, although inbreeding could definetly exacerbate the problem. I also agree with cav in that 99.999% of bad sheds will be due to husbandry issues but every now and again i think there will be a snake (not necessarily blubeards snake) that will be due to genetics. In the wild a snake with shedding problems will most definetly die. In captivity we are able to help them thru this stressful period so they are able to mature, mate and pass the bad gene on.
