Can inbreeding cause problems?

If animals with genetic problems are being breed problems can occur.

For instance, any responsible breeder will not breed any spiders that have head wobbles in hopes of outbreeding the trait so much that the condition no longer exists. But is someone is solely interested in the money, do you really think that they care if they could be passing on a genetic flaw?

There are several other instance where inbreeding can be a problem. However if the animals are healthy, then inbreeding should not be an issue until you get past the second generation.

Wow! Lovely spider there!!!!

Brad. Thank you, please pass the A-1 sauce. :rolleyes:

Nice Spider, Ed! Here's hopin for lots of Bees for ya!

Lets sprinkle around a little spider love. :) https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...spiderlove.JPG

I really like that bottom spider.... Head pattern is super cool, and the rest of the reduced spider patterning is awesome!

Ken, I choose to keep the bigger of the two. because he is growing faster and will be another breeder male, quickly. If there was ever two different personalities in snakes these two are night and day. the one in the front is very shy and the pic. shows that, the complete opposite is the one in the back, hes very outgoing and inquisitive. look at the look hes giving. :P

Ed awesome spider's man!!!! Bumblebeeeee'sss
