    no inbreeding at all. maybe they were related at one point a few generations ago. but then, with butterscotch x orange ghost, maybe their ancestry is seperate going back all the way to africa. it happens all the time that people make their "extra gene 100% het albino" using an albino they got from one breeder, and their "visual albino with extra gene" using an albino they got from a different breeder.

    and none of this applies to dominant and incomplete dominant morphs, which make up the majority of BP breeding projects. where is the inbreeding when i buy a black pastel here, a pinstripe there, and a bamboo from Noah from Ghana, and a calico from someone on craigslist?
    That is great when you have quite a bit invest but when you do not like most people you get inbreeding. You can say what you would do but in reality you have done it. Also with what you stated what are you going do for the super bamboo? You can make claims as to what you would do but until you actually do it everything is just empty words.
