    It’s too easy to research a topic with today’s technology. If you do a quick search you can read many articles discussing the facts of inbreeding.

    Even the big breeders will tell you that it is better to out cross than to inbreed. They have bred enough to see what the results are.
    really? can you post links or references to any of this information? I have done my research and found almost just the opposite. Sure constant line breeding may have an effect, but any proof of negative effects after a generation or 2?

    and as for your big breeders... http://snakebytes.tv/index.php?optio...=151&Itemid=14

    will also add my rats are quite a few generations in of being inbreed and have yet to see any negative effects. still producing big healthy litters
