    Not sure if it was brought up in a previous post, didn;t read every one. The guy bought them as babies, are they clutch mates? I see a problem with breeding siblings, some do not.

    Bear in mind most of these subspecies live in isolated populations so would naturally breed with siblings/parents. Also bear in mind that Reptilian DNA is a simpler chain than mammalian and keeping a chain pure can actually prevent deforimities etc (see the study on cunninghams skinks as a good example.)
    Also couple the above with the very limited bloodlines outside of Oz.

    The only time I can foresee future problems is when interbreeding snakes (and other reptiles) with weak/defective/abnormal genes. 'Morphs' for example.

    Out of interest what problems do you see?
