What are peoples oppinions? I have heard that it is bad as it 'concentrates bad genes' but it seems that it would create better morphs.
What problems, if any, does it cause?
If anyone could explain the genetics side id appriciate that too. |

aww right i understand, thank u :) |

it is to do with the nervous system but the fact that all spiders show this trait to varying degrees is down to inbreeding |

Ooo id like to know about the royal spider morph wobble, when we got our spider, royal morphs did point out the wobble which was quite bad at the time, but shes so much more steadier now, i was told it was to do with the nerve system and not imbreading, but curious to know if it is down to imbreeding tho. |

Unfortunately this happens a lot. We've seen a number of "big" breeders come and go when they realise that there is not actually much money to be made from breeding and selling. Unfortunately things like this happen along the way :(
We're in the process of test breeding all our sunkissed animals for the stargazer gene.

Thats not cool...
It's a shame that some people are more bothered about the money or whatever than the actual snakes.
Madness. |

i don't know a thing about royals, but stargazing corns I do. That is genetic and recessive so behaves like any other recessive morphs. As far as I know it was brought into captive collections from a wild caught individual, most likely het stargazer. For that het to become homozygous without the tall odds of breeding to another w/c het animal then inbreeding will have to have been done.
The scary thing is that a 'certain well known US breeder that has recently retired' knew they had SG in some of their sunkissed animals yet still bred them to everything in a bid to be 'first' with new combinations and encouraged others to do the same. After their retirement all the stock was sold off at good prices so SG will be rearing its head in more and more collections in the coming years. |

Question about this to all who know:
Is things like Stargazers and wobblehead royals caused or partially caused by this??

But it's cheaper though. Buying a present for my dad and my uncle at christmas means I only have to buy 1.

yay for a few generations IF you are starting a new line from unrelated parents, then out cross once the desired genes have been recovered.

it is an essential part of creating new morphs.........
but for hobbyist breeders wanting to produce low-end/common morphs it's unneccesary IMO as there's so many corns out there there's simply no need to inbreed |
