"breeding back" ok?

[joepythons]

Is it generally OK to breed a BP back to its parent for morph-production purposes? I am just wondering, since my plans include keeping an eventual pastel female and breeding her back to the sire for super-pas plans..

Yes 100%.That is how many of the first morphs were reproduced in there beggining.

I figured it was OK That's a relief to me, since I want Super Pastels someday!!

:3 same here. we have the same goal pretty much- you're waiting on your pastel male, and me my female. woot.

you can also trade with other breeders you know.

Ive read,it is ok for 2 or three generations,but after that that the ill efects come in and weaker animals are produced.seems to be more of a problem with resesive genetics than with codoms.

OK,where did you get this info from? Not saying i do not beleive you ,its just i never heard or read this anywhere.Its nice to get all the info since i have a pair of 100% het albino balls that as soon as i produce a male albino dad is out of here .

Ok well I had to sit down and think about this.I now remember whare i read this.It was in the bearded dragon manual.I have lent it out so I do not have a page reference for you.
I know it is verry comon to breed offspring back to parents.I myself whould not go more than 3 generations without adding new blood.As for breeding siblings well I do plan to breed my het.albinos witch have the same father.I have heard of people breeding direct siblings togeather with no ill efects,but I myself whould not do it if the parents are related(father,daughter etc.).I'm sure everone well have there own opion on this matter
Hope this helped

I figure, to get new blood, I could sell the related male and buy a new male; if it's the same morph, I guess you would basically be "trading" yours for new blood, in a roundabout way, by doing this..

See the key words in your post is Bearded Dragon Book.Lizards and snakes are totaly differant when it comes to Genetics and the such.Please do not think i am being rude here as i am not.And as far as breeding the fathers back to the babies(or mom) this is how the majority of the morphs first started out.
