It's always good to outcross the offspring to strengthen the blood line/genes, etc. Otherwise eventually you will get weak runts & possible deformities. The thing is though without this process of inbreeding/incest you wouldn't have the recessive morphs or any at all as if only one new type of morph is produced it is necessary to breed the offspring together or back to the parents.
