RDR clutch 13

Carmels

Look I can go on but I am not. Like I said you can find all kinds of data on what generations of inbreeding can and will most certainly do. Back breeding is not quite as bad as sib to sib. Like I said though people are going to do what they want to do and turn a deaf ear to every thing else. I have a moral obligation to produce healthy and diverse animals in what ever I breed and sell. I do what I feel is right just as every one else does as they feel.
Peace
i would like you to go on and on, rdrs clutch was bred back to a parent, which you said yourself isn't quite so bad. how far was his animals inbreed? has he bred the animals to other snakes to see if mayb he has a snake with some bad genes? there other possiblities, and missing information. Even if it is cause directly to inbreeding congrads you have 1 example, then You bring up carmels...lol, im not going to touch that one.

you can do what ever you want, but what im after is true information, I think anyone going to out cross when they can, but to say people are turning a deaf ear? sounds like thats what your doing. one bad pairing of snakes doesn't explain the 23908439284 healthy clutches people have produced from sib x sib.
