>>That is true, but the parents found each other on their own in the wild and that is a lot different than someone collecting two of the nicest brooksi and breeding them. I do understand they were incubated in captivity, but they are still more natural than F1's who's parents were selected and brought together by the breeder. This to me is a special situation and requires being described rather than labelling them F0 or F1, imo. Same goes for F1 X F3. All that goes out the window and you must describe what was bred to what. Just my opinion.

I believe if you breed an animal 4 generations from the wild, F4 to an animal 3 generations from the wild, F3 the offspring are still 5 generations from the wild from one parent and should not be called anything better than F5s......
But you are absolutely correct.....The best thing to do is advertise them as F4 X F3 offspring......And let folks opinions "label" them......

Plus eggs laid, incubated and hatched in captivity have no pressures the wild has.....They are certainly captive hatched......and maybe that is the BEST answer.....lol
