in order to get lets say.... an F4 hypo, we would take 2 unrelated hypos (P1), breed them, and the offspring would be F1s. we then would take 2 siblings from that litter, breed them to eachother.... (F1 x sibling F1) and would produce F2s... Then take F2 x sibling F2, and produce F3s, and so on. So all of the Filials would have to be siblings to the snake they are breeding to. Basically a lot of generations of insest. Is that how it works? I've always been confused as to how the filials worked.
