I'm not sure if I can get over to Germany. I'll have a hunt around and if I don't find anything before I'll look at the reptile expo at Kempton in August and see if they have one. Never been before but looks like it'll be good!

Cheers,
Chris

I've finally found and got my female sulfur!
(thanks to the Kempton Expo)

She's beautiful! and with a 66% het motley!

Just got to get her to breeding age and size. I don't know how I'm going to wait for a couple of years!

I have a question regarding the f1, f2 stuff;

eeji, you said that if you breed the f1 babies together this produces f2.
If you produce an 1f baby and then breed that back to the mother, as I'm planning on doing, would any offspring then still become f2? I guess they would, just wanted to double check?

I'm guessing if you breed any related pair together that this increases the f number by 1 more than the highest? (e.g f1+f2=f3, f2+f2=f3, parent+f2=f3, etc...)

And what is the highest you can 'safely' go?

I don't plan going further than f2 just interested.

Thanks,
Chris

Cheers,
Chris

congrats!

yes, f1 x parent = f2. As for 'safety', I don't know. There is a small amount of risk with any kind of line breeding, the more its done the more any changes are noticed.
