Inbreeding - brother to sister?
So it's a fact that inbreeding has caused issues in everything from dogs to people when it happens too much.
It's also a known fact that it is riskier to breed siblings together rather than daughter to father or son to mother.
My Q is, who here has bred (any species) siblings together, and what happened with any animals produced? I have to imagine this happens a bit when people are attempting to produce double recessives.

Any species? my rats are in double digit generations and brother and sisters bred together all the time, no ill effects yet. and those are mammals

Fine, various rare leachianus locality geckos and chinese alligators, as reptilian examples of inbreeding causing problems
