I spoke to a friend about that this weekend, and he said that when it comes to snakes it's safe to inbreed as far as five generations, Ball Pythons apparently get to breed back 10 generations before you run into any problems. I'm not dead sure about this, but would be interesting to know.

That's correct. It's safe, but as soon as you start getting deformed babies, or other complications, you should try get a different partner.
