Albino Hognose Defects?

tmshaffer Oct 01, 2007 10:19 AM

I heard that is was bad to breed Albino Hognose together. Is that in reference to inbreeding or does that cover breeding of unrelated Hognose. Thanks

Since there were only a few F1 albino strains out there the likelihood that they are related is quite high. It would be best to outcross than to produce a clutch that all laid on there back or stared into space.

I figured it was just to close of breeding. I have very diverse lines and will increase the diversity as I go along. I want to produce totally unrelated pairs in the future.
