In about a month (give or take a little) I will be getting my first pair of boas. They are 100% het for albino and have nice stripes. The thing I have been thinking seriously about is when they come of breeding age, whether or not to breed them together (they are siblings). I have been thinking baout trading the male for another 100% het for albino male and thn breed but I don't know. I know that breeding parents to offspring is fine in most cases but I have read that breeding siblings together can cause some bad effects on the offspring. I don't know what to do.lol. I know it is my choice and no one will decide for me, but I could use some advice. Is there anyone that does breed sibling to sibling? I know some of the babies he has have stripes, I don't know if it is genetic or what, but I will ask. for some reason i did not think of that till now. but thanks in advance.
