hi, im new, to the cyclura forum, but, i have a few questions, because i am considering, breeding my male cuban rock (tucker) with a female cuban rock that i just bought from a friend, who is also on the forums. i was wondering if thier is only a few different bloodlines of cuban rocks in the pet trade, and if its possible that the genes are so limited that the species may become inbred.
because to the best of my knowledge, cuban rocks havnt been imported for years right, but maybe im wrong. what are the risks, of inbreeding??? and is it possible that many of the rock iguanas available to the pet trade are inbred? could this be why many of the three subspecies are crossed and hybridized?
Thanks, Josh (huck)
