    Re: Inbreeding question

    OK and for anyone who wants to believe that Balls or any other reptile is different than any other animal, then by all means go ahead. The gene pool for ball python morphs is pretty shallow due to heavy line breeding and inbreeding. I don’t really care to get into a heated debate about things that no one Knows for sure but that they "know for sure".

    Not all super cinnies or black pastels are duck-billed. Some normal balls have been seen with wobble.

    Inbreeding and too heavy of line breeding does affect corns. I doubt that the scale-less corn is a natural phenomena.

    Inbreeding in any species really is not good. It’s not my ethics that knows this, it is fact and proof when genetically things go a rye. If you breed Y x Z and the offspring are eyeless and or deformed. Then you try it again with the same said result. Maybe it’s a clue.

    Line breeding takes a lot longer but if it’s done too heavily you can get the same results.

    As I stated before I am not against line breeding or inbreeding. I will not inbreed anything. Ever. I have seen the ramifications of it. I don’t care to cause that to any one, or thing. I know people that have inbreed balls as well as other reptiles and or animals and had disastrous results.

    Believe what you want. It doesn't affect me in any way, shape or form.
