Um, let me think......YUP!

And dooesn't have to be from same litter.

If you started with two boas and labeled every one of their offspring each year as "F1" then in the future anytime you bred two "F1"s together would then have F2's any of those F2's when bred together (cousins even?) would be F3's etc.

Line breeding is valuable to get and/or refine morphs but new fresh bloodlines IMO MUST be crossed in from time to time!!
