Can i breed a snake with its sibling?

Question

I have a corn snake and would like to breed snakes when it grows. I am wondering if you can breed corn snakes with its siblings. Or like a corn with its mother?

Answer 1

It's been done, but it's not reccommended. You'll probably get a lot of slugs and stillborns, and possibly some deformed live ones. It's better to find another bloodline with the same traits and breed out.

Answer 2

Snakes are not people. Inbreeding snakes will not result in deformed, retarded babies as it does in humans. I breed snakes, I do a lot of inbreeding, this is why we can produce so many morphs without losing the simple recessive genes. I would recommend bringing in new blood later, after so many generations you will see fertility problems. So the short answer is yes, yes you can breed a snake to it's siblings.

Answer 3

would you breed with your sibling? You are greatly increasing your odds at a genetic problem.

Answer 4

Would you breed with your sibling or mother, you'll have retarded babies.
