Keeping reptiles as pets will never contribute to conservation, they have nothing to do with each other. These captive reptiles will never ever be used to repopulate the wild. Inbreeding in reptiles also occurs a lot in the wild, especially in small populations. The people that say that morphs don't occur or are rare in the wild need to get out a bit more and actually see some wild reptiles! Stripes, reduced patterns, patternless, hypomelanism, hypermelanism, etc etc are all very common in the wild! Armchair herpers just don't know they exist because they can't drag themselves away from their reptile forums..
I like wild type animals so I personally don't care for all the shaky head jag, leatherback, super zebra snow axanthic blah blah crap but I also don't care if other people do it. Each to their own. Line breeding these reptiles is NO different to line breeding dogs, and every single domestic dog breed is line bred.. so if you own a domestic dog but think line breeding reptiles is wrong then you are a hypocrite. I don't get the blaming the Americans for this stuff either, we are just as bad for it so it seems of late...I see these beardies have now hit our shores and are being pumped out for the $$$.
