This is probably a stupid question but...

Lets say that you had a clutch of one male and one female, when they matured could they breed safely? Or would their be birth defects and things? This is a real basic question, but thanks everyone for your help...

From what i understand u can to produce offspring but i wouldnt do it much. both babies carry the same genes cause they come from the same parents. youd be better to breed the babies when old/size enough back to the parent,they would have only half the genes. see what some other members say but this was what was explained to me.

for 1 or 2 generations it ok, but its still not good. unless your trying to improve a morph or something similar, don't do it. like Dakman said its better to breed the babies back to the parents, and not to each other.
