    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site.

Lately there's been quite alot of discussion regarding inbreeding bearded dragons in order to create what some people think are a desirable trait. I think this is wrong but would like to know what others think.
Let me put it this way...do you think that it's worth the risk of genetic related problems (even years down the line) to breed related dragons?

Hello , absolutely not. can someone please define a genetic tear? my understanding is that to see the negative results of inbreeding takes atleast 10 generations. (Ross&Marzec (1990). also I wonder if someone could mess up the bloodline by making a weaker species and ultimately lead to the genetic exhaustion of one given bloodline.

much people do not understand, especially with the pogone, than enough not to take the two beautifulst ones pogone from the same breeder and riaccoppiarle epr to make a good job. it would have to take the two pogone and reincrociarle with others two coming from different from two various breeders whom in its turn they know to you to indicate from where the great breeders in realta come the animals (are little), to grow the cuccioli and to perhaps riaccoppiare the coming from animals from the two groups ..... and lack enough!!!!!!

perhaps she is for that many times new coloration does not come comprised the job made behind the creation of one and is for that people many times do not understand “the high” price of some animals….

if you want to see more google, alemoz,alemoz2,and silkback you will see the same fury in his own country. so please don't try to say just a few are troublemakers, as the outrage is worldwide. whenever it gets close to finding the truth about inbreeding silkbacks, someone has a knack for disappearing.

Did you take that from this thread also....




considered that the so-called one “imbreeding depression” in the rectums them is begun to verify, according to Ross&Marzec (1990), around to the tenth generation of consanguinity. The lowering, for compromissione, of the defense of immunity is only one of the modalities with which such manifest phenomenon. As an example in the boidi (i.e some north-European lines of blood of A.dumerili) are often the selection of geniuses bearers chronic respiratory problems that debilitate the animal until death. Such occurrence however has been taken place also in within morph with the first USA lines of moluri albino and green taken advantage of (especially the second one) to the improbable one. That you from also the sense of like in the years, man by hand that the market morph has been gone expanding, has been experienced and made to rise to routinaria praxis one series of practical riproduttive apt to ask for the genetic exhaustion of one given bloodline.

Hi Jean,To me that translates out in english is I dont care about the breed, just money. as with the other reptile forums when the heat was on it was admitted that inbreeding is responsible for producing the mutant. google silkback and it will lead you to discussions that occurred in the recent months. would you care to defend this statement?

Allesandro Quote from Fauna:

Ok i will try to make it as clear as possible

the first thing i will say is that the whole history was described to really important breeder and seeing the result they sayd there is no doubt is a codominant gene

now....
Two normal animal are bred and one was different (first generation). I took the first animal (the female) and crossed with one normal unrelated male. I produced the second generation. I grow up all the babies (11 babies), I have splitted in two group, yellow (4) and red (7). Now the story should be divided in 2 section
First section. The 2 of the yellow (2 were not ready) and 4 of the red line (1 was not ready) were bred each with a coloured animal (yellow leath to yellow, red leath to red) unrelated. I produced the third generation (two lines). I have kept most of the red produced and this year I crossed the one who was able to breed to new unrelated animals. This is the fourth generation
Second section: The two red remaining I bred them together with the aim to test and find out the super form. I hatched 5 silkback
Is that not an admission of inbreeding?

Jack
 
How else would you prove them out?

''i have tested the genetic of silkback in the third generation of leatherback."" . but I can add more, silkback is not a mutation over another mutation. But it is the super form of a codominant gene. And this year I proved it out because I have bred my silkback male on a normal female (unrelated) and it gave me all the babies being leath. And this is the last confirmation you could have. I suppose you may need some info on genetic and I suggest you to read the chapter in the N.E.R.D. site.''

and your point is?? they still came from inbreeding :rolleyes:

Well, if it can be done this way, why did he inbreed them?

Thank you, Alessandro. Even I got it that time, and I'm one of those with very, very limited knowledge of genetics. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this in simple terms, step by step, for us. I know this has to be frustrating for you, and I appreciate you putting up with us. I do hope you'll continue educating us, as we are all here to learn as much as we can, and there's nobody better to teach us than you.

we were all kissing butt to get him to stick around but he ran off anyways.im pretty sure tere was simply waiting and biding her time to get more answers from the questions asked by others.we all knew that it was inbreeding but we waited for him to "tighten the noose" so to speak ;)

OK, Sure, Jojo Puppy..Go do some reading about genetics..Then we can maybe have a intellegent conversation.
 
Hey, Jack-

Are these the Google searches you were talking about? You mean the threads where everyone is disgusted with the silkbacks, as well as a few stating their concerns over the inbreeding that took place to get them, and even one saying that the words "Dachiu project" were frightening?

And that's just a couple that were in English. Looks like we're not the only ones.

Hi Tere, No the ones I visited were 2 Italian, 2 German and one aussie. I can post links if you like?
