It should not be common practice nor should it be suggested to others to do as common practice. If you cant afford to do it right, either time wise or money wise, then you should not be breeding. Breeders should be responsible and always out source the blood lines when possible.

I think you should look at real information about genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology from other more reliable sources (such as geneticists) other than from what you will find on this site(or any other breeder related sites) that is posted from other breeders. Research reptile inbreeding or line breeding.

My 2 cents for what its worth.
I'm with you. Line breeding is the only way to prove a line, so I'm definitely not against it.

I will have to do more in depth research I suppose. I wouldn't really know where to start looking, but the internet is full of information, so I'm sure I can find something, somewhere. Thanks for the insight.
