Weird breeding/buying/owning question

[AbranV]

I would agree IF Abran were breeding for profit. Then of course you want to diversify your bloodline. HOWEVER, Abran is like myself and not interested in breeding for profit, it was out of curiosity that IF siblings were to breed, would it be ok, and that was the question I was answering. And yeah, I know, anyone can read the thread, and can be confused with it, so I will put it this way:

To anyone reading: if breeding for profit, then you should diversify your bloodlines.
If you simply have siblings that happen to breed, it will not be the end of the world.

Perfectly said Bill. This was just another of my many questions as I prepare for my dart frog adventure.

PubFiction, I also understand and agree with your statement. If I were intentionally breeding, it would be important to find separate bloodlines.

This is not a weird question ... at all

My 2 cents

It's important to mix bloodlines.
It takes a long time and a lot of planning.

It just took Heatheranne 7 months to mix out adult and sub-adult R variabils "Southern" ( we fostered for each other )

We mixed-out sibs and grouped 2 lines.
We have - 2 sets each - beautiful breeding adults from 2 highly respected sources.

The results are wonderful
AND offspring are gorgeous

I will also be able to add and additional ( unrelated to the others ) to the breeding group. Offspring of one of the pair I fostered for Heath.
Kind of hard to follow.

Lots of work !!!

Heath has a thread going here: http://www.frogforum.net/dart-frogs-...-southern.html
Her *pair that just bred are from John Clare--- and very prolific. The additional one I'm keeping is from *their first clutch; about a month old
