Hi All, Just wondering if anyone knows the side effects of inbreeding snakes or reptiles in general ie, crossing brother and sister ? when people are line breeding are they crossing siblings? cheers jason. |

| | | | half brother and sister ok also son to mum and daughter to dad, but MUST go completely out after that, best mating for starting a line is ,grand daughter to grand dad and grandson to grand mum, bub back to uncle or aunt ect. can do for three generations, then a complete out cross be for you can go back. |
