    Breeding daughters to fathers
    So lets say you want to make a albino pied. So when you breed a pied and a albino, you get Dh albino pieds. My question is, if you hold back 2 females from the clutch and breed them to the father, would that be safe? No harm Involved?

    If you want to make an Albino Pied why would you breed the DH back to the sire?

    If you want to make an Albino pied you want to holdback 1.2 and breed them together.

    What Deborah says

    to give you an example,

    I did breed a Clown to a Orange Ghost,

    If I would keep 2 females and breed to my Clown male the best I would get are Clowns that are possible het. Orange Ghost. So you really want to keep 1 male too so you can do double het X double het.

    depending on the sex ratio of that clutch I'll be keeping 1.2 or 1.3

    It's safe to breed clutch mates? I recently read a couple of threads on here that state that It can be really bad. Using dogs Inbreeding as an example. Sorry If I'm not seeing the point here.

    Actually even in dogs you can double or triple up depending what traits you are breeding for.
    Reptiles are completly different.

    I always like to use the "Frog Pond" example. Here in north central Florida, about 5 miles west of Newberry, there's a small pond in the middle of large cattle operation and it's the only full time body of water for at least 2 square miles. The pond's been there for as long as I can remember and the thing is chock full of frogs. I couldn't even begin to guess how many generations of inbred frogs have lived and died in that pond. I was over there about three weeks ago and didn't see a single frog with 3 eyes or 5 legs.

    Like Pit said, reptiles are completely different.
