    Unless you're talking about specifically just trying to get pieds. The post was about proving a possible het though....not inbreeding just to get pieds (which really isn't necessary anymore)
    The point is that it's now pointless if the original female is a het or not, as you now have a 100% het female ready to breed.

    If the original female doesn't prove out by the time you have a 100% het ready to go why even bother. A generation or two of inbreeding in reptiles doesn't lead to any negative effects 99% of the time.
