travel, chance of meeting not that common even within a locale. Remember Random Walk Theory in determining distribution and chance of meeting relative for fling. Thats it for math!
Now Opinion: Inbreeding is common in herpetoculture because of convenience. From what I see, many in herps disragard all but the most serious deformities as negative consequences of inbreeding. Perhaps it figures since the herp culture seems to advocate selling pairs of siblings to people that have zero experience even owning herps so that they can grow them up and breed them. Guess hypothetical buyers would be cooler than if they just kept the snakes and did not breed them.

:) in snakes is quite common. Especially in your rosy boas, hence all the different color variations in the different locales. Their range is small and having a daddy snake breed to his offspring daughters is COMMON. Just like pyros, etc... I would not worry about inbreeding.
