Posted - 12/07/2012 : 15:02:04 another weird Question lol. I wondered if anyone has breed snakes from the same clutch which when ready, have breed ? in other words can a bro and sister snake breed, I personally think it would be wrong lol, but I'm new to the snake world.
Thx :) |

Posted - 03/08/2012 : 13:50:04 Actually a lot of dog's wont breed with their parents and the same goes for lots of animals in the wild. Gene deformities are found in a lot of pedigree animals, such as German shepherd's have weak back legs and prone to going blind. While mongrels are generally healthier because they have a more diverse gene pool. But considering snakes have been around for over 100million years, I think they will be OK! |

I was wondering, I know a lot of people will keep a pair back and breed them when they are old enough Is it normal to keep just one back and breed it with its mother or father? cos thats what i was planning to do
you can do that, a lot of people do |

Posted - 14/07/2012 : 13:50:16 that would just confuse things morph wise come hatching time because you wouldn't know who the father is |

Posted - 13/07/2012 : 10:31:17 just to ask a further question to the first...... could you introduce several different males to one female
eg. female amel could she be first introduced to a diffused 1 day then a snow the next day then etc etc, and if so what effect would it have??? at first i thought it was wrong but now im not sure |

It is done but it's not something I would do. In breeding any animal will always run the risk of increasing recessive gene deformities.
only if they are there in the first place in heterozygous form |

Posted - 12/07/2012 : 19:24:07 yes they can, snakes have no concept of incest. If its done too much there is increased risk of deleterious traits being line bred. |
