What's the official deal on inbreeding? Can I breed siblings to each other or will I produce three toothed hillbillies? Also, whatever the answer, does it also apply to lizards?

yeah one or two generations of inbreeding is ok, but in rare occasions it can also lead to unwanted genes showing up.

Actually thats not true. I have had several genetics classes, and it can take bad genetics from one generation 3 or 4 generations to show up sometimes. Inbreeding is never good. Dont do it unless you really have to.
