hi, what are the negative effect of breeding 2 leucistic ratsnake sibling? i've read before that breeding 2 albino will produce abnormalities. i'm planning to breed a leucistic ratsnake but stock of this specie in my area is limited. i'm planning to purchase a pair(sibling) from a local breeder and try to breed them. help pls...
 
I'm not sure about the negative effects of breeding 2 leucistics or 2 albinos....but leucistic is not the same as albino.
 
i know in ball pythons and possibly other pythons, some have said in albanism you can breed het x het or homo x het. but not homo x homo you get healthier offspring. i dont think this is true with corns or rats though. i think the bigger of the problems would be breeding a fully related pair from the same clutch. im sure that it happens though

im sure someone will be 100% on this in the next post or two

Breeding siblings and offspring to parent is done to reinforce a desired trait. Some other things will be passed on but if the snakes appear healthy you should be ok. However, somewhere along the line you should introduce new blood to diffuse the bad genes.
