Hi again,
When someone sells a pair of snakes from the same clutch, are they able to be bred or is it necessary to breed a pair that arent related?
Thanks for all of your help!
Much appreciated  |

Otherwise if your not after a certain trait best not to, because if there is any genetic problems with say mother/father grandparets etc and you breed two of the same gene bubs you have more chance of bringing out that problem. Hope that makes sense.

Thus, as their was no problem after seven generations there would be no problem with subsequent generations.
