Has there been any documented proof of negative results from direct line breeding (breeding direct sibling,brothersister, mother/son, etc..) I can't see how it truely can be so negative since pretty much all the morphs are started from no more than a couple of w/c pairs and therefore seemingly all albino burms are direct descendants of these original specimans. The reason I was asking was because I have been planning to start a breeding operation next year and to expand vastly over the next four years or so and to delve into new creations such as the albino green granite burmese it almost has to be done by breeding clutchmates or atleast ones that share atleast a father. Any information would be greatly apreciated. Thanks Todd

I dont think all albino burms are direct decendents. An albino burm bred to a normal makes 100% het, that brings in new blood. het to het breeding bring in new blood also. Am I going anywhere with this?
Although not answering you're question completely, I don't think it is a negative thing. A lot of people that can only afford one 100% het, breed the het to a normal and then continue to breed to the offsrping (66% hets), until they can produce what they want.
errr
my head hurts...where's Brian. lol
