I've been working with ball pythons for over ten years now. Two years ago I decided to breed them as a business. I run a small operation. Currently I have approximately 100 snakes in my breeding program and hope to produce over 200 babies in the 2013 breeding season. I've always been fascinated by reptiles, snakes in particular, and being able to work with them every day is very satisfying.
You would get a combination of the following:
fire bees, fire spiders, fireflies, fires
There's a good genetics calculator on http://worldofballpythons.com that will allow you to enter the genetics of males and females to see what offspring you would produce. It also includes pictures of many of the various combinations that have been produced.

Yes, I've been bitten many times. The snakes I work with are not venomous, so it's not dangerous, and usually is pretty painless. Their teeth are so sharp and small that it feels similar to getting an injection.

Inbreeding isn't generally a problem with ball pythons and in general it's less of a problem with reptiles than other animal species. I don't recall where I read it and I don't have a source to back this up, but I've read of breeders line breeding (breeding related individuals) ball pythons for many generations without noticeable effects on the resulting offspring.
That being said, I'm not recommending that you breed related individuals together. I would recommend against it if possible, but it shouldn't result in genetically defective babies if you were to do so.
