"breeding back" ok?

Is it generally OK to breed a BP back to its parent for morph-production purposes? I am just wondering, since my plans include keeping an eventual pastel female and breeding her back to the sire for super-pas plans..

I'm pretty sure that it will be fine, Im not 100% So you might want to get a few other opinions But im pretty sure it wont hurt anything!

They should be ok. I have heard that they can get defective if you keep doing it over and over and over and over again.

yes. a lot of breeders do it, espescially to keep a certain pattern or color trait.

Yes 100%.That is how many of the first morphs were reproduced in there beggining.:cool:

I figured it was OK :) That's a relief to me, since I want Super Pastels someday!!

:3 same here. we have the same goal pretty much- you're waiting on your pastel male, and me my female. woot.

you can also trade with other breeders you know.

Ive read,it is ok for 2 or three generations,but after that that the ill efects come in and weaker animals are produced.seems to be more of a problem with resesive genetics than with codoms.
