i was just wondering for those who plan on breeding giant, how would you go about doing it? for example if blizard if from icexhail and sugar is from snowxsleet if you were to take a tegu from blizardxsugar and breed it with an offspring of icexhail or snowxsleet or even a sargexcream who i belive is from the same clutches as blizard ad sugar wouldnt this still constitute inbreeding? this is something i have been very curious about. i wonder if bobby has any other pairs of giants other than these 4.

Scroll down to the section 'Calculating'...

I believe we should responsibly reduce the degrees of inbreeding wherever possible... but ensuring zero degree of inbreeding is too high of a standard to realistically produce when dealing with a species/line that has only two original sources (those two sources being the two pairs Bobby has)
