Nice snake and pic, Ophi [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] <TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Quote:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><BLOCKQUOTE> Is it ok to breed related pairs to each other? </BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD><HR></TD></TR></TABLE> Do you know if the parebt of the siblings are related? If they are unrelated it if fine for a first generation siblings to mate IMO. However I would not sell/trade/give anyone 1.1 out of that clutch for future mating. Excessive inbreeding does weaken the genetic structure (ever seen Deliverence!!). For example if you take your siblings and mate them, then mate 1.1 out of that clutch, then 1.1 out of thier clutch and on and on.... you will eventull have a VERY genetically weak clutch that will be missing eyes and have chronic health problems because of a weakend immune system. However if the parents are unrelated IMO it if just fine to mate 1.1 out of the clutch as long as you don't give up any more siblings out of their clutch for mating. -Juggalo
