F4 Super Hypo

Doing some research on my boids I noticed the mother of my Orange Tail Hypo is a F4 Super Hypo Panama Boa. What is a F4 Super Hypo? I tried to find out through Google with no real success. So I'm reaching out to everyone here. Thanks for any help.

its called LINE BREEDING

take 2 unrelated snakes and breed.....

you produce F1 hatchlings

cross 2 of those hatchlings,you get.....

F2 hatchlings

cross 2 of those hatchlings together,you get.....

F3 hatchlings

cross 2 of those hatchlings together,you get.....

F4 hatchlings

i have heard of F5,F6 specific LINE bred carpet python breeding projects,that have had NO health issues

people line breed to try and enhance/improove a certain trait or traits in a project

cheers shaun

P.S.its good to see you back on here stephan

Re: F4 Super Hypo

Isn't inbreeding not a good thing? I'd plan on pairing her to a Coral Albino or DH Sun.

i have seen NO evidence or study's that LINE BREEDING in carpet pythons can cause health issues

if anyone can show me evidence to say other wise,i'd be interested in reading it

cheers shaun

Re: F4 Super Hypo

Inbreeding is inbreeding. I don't see how there won't be stronger genetic malformations as well as stronger desired results when you inbreed. I mean, you are mating animals that have the same genetics. It's all gold paint over fake jewelry. You may get a nice looking snake, but that snake will have poor genetics due to inbreeding.
