Hiya, ive read in many places about breeding the son snake back to its mother, or the daughter to father and also in siblings. From what i understood it creates problems and mutants etc in humand and dogs but i might have that wrong. So many people do it.. Is it bad/wrong and what are the possible side effects or benefits?

Thanks

it can create problems and mutants in any living organism, not just humans and dogs. It can enhance polygenetic traits (good or bad) and increases the chances of recessive heterozygous genes becoming homozygous.

That said, it is widely practised but responsible breeders will only do this for a couple of generations before out crossing to a fresh gene pool.
