    Re: How Many Morphs Are Created Through Inbreeding?

I've even seen some morphs having blind eyes or even no eyes at all! Seems that the same thing which happened to dogs during the 1900's in Britain is now happening to BP's. Now i would greatly assume that the majority of you guys probably don't breed brother to sister or brother to mom, etc. but it does seem that has happened numerous times with other people and will continue happening. Is this some thing which is looked down upon?
    Spider wobble is not due to inbreeding, spiders are one of the most outcross mutation out there and not many people do spider to spider breeding as there is really no point to it. Wobble cannot be bred out.

    Duck billing has nothing to do with inbreeding either even when out-crossing with different line the problem still occurs.

    If you believe that the issues seen with Black Pastel, Spider, Champagne or other mutations are due to inbreeding you have greatly been misinformed by people who do not know what they are talking about
