Breeding siblings

[Brandon Osborne]

All wobbles, kinking, duck-billing, one eye, no eye, cleft lip, organs on the outside, mangled bodies, and clutch after clutch of non thriving babies....etc, etc are all due to temps or just bad genes and has nothing to do with anything else.

It's funny though that when you out cross the supers (cinnies, Black Pastels, Lessers, etc) most of the deformities start to go away.

MOST of what you mention is due to the gene. As I said before, even with outcrossed animals and new import blood, these things still pop up. Outcrossing spiders, cinnies, black pastels and caramels does not make the abnormalities disappear. It's part of the gene. If you aren't prepaired for the consequences don't work with the genes.

I bred son to mother Pewters in 2009/10 and had a perfectly normal clutch other than producing two very oddly patterned Super Pewters.

I'll reiterate....snakes are non-migratory animals. We have these morphs because of inbreeding in wild populations. It happens because micro-populations exist withing other micro-populations and these snakes live with inbreeding their entire lives. Breeding sibling to sibling, father to daughter, father to grand daughter and so on. Do some research on feild observations by Frank Retes. You may be enlightened.

By the way, I am in no way trying to come off as harsh. Just stating valid points.
