Posted by: Rick Staub at Wed Jun 4 19:57:58 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Rick Staub ] Dogs are not snakes nor reptiles. Inbreeding has been documented and studied in mammals, but not in reptiles as far as I know. A friend in Southern California has line bred Cal kings for over 10 years without observing any negative effects in their fitness. Why? I don't know, but this has been repeated in herpetoculture many times and it suggests that inbreeding in reptiles and especially snakes in captivity is not the all encompassing evil that it has been made out to be. | ||
