Hi all!
I've been reading the threads for weeks now and have seen this topic come up several times in other conversations, but no one has addressed it specifically I don't believe.
In the thread about raising a T community it was recommended to have them all be unrelated, so as not to have this problem. Well, I would hope that people were smart enough to not do that anyway.
I have a long way to go before any of mine (that I have so far) are of breeding age, but it made me wonder. Ok, for example, I have 5 slings from Nerri1029's give away as do alot of other people, I know exactly where they came from. If and or when I go to breed them, it won't be with each other, I will buy another or get a loaner. Do I then need to discuss with the owner the T's genetic tree??? I wouldn't want to hook up one of my girls with her own brother, or visa versa!! Or does it really matter? I wouldn't knowingly do it, like with the several sets of mine I know came from the same sac, but what if I buy another and it's from the same one also? Would it really matter? Any need for a family tree? Do I need to get the parental background on all of my slings? Varden would love that pm!!! Too Far fetched? Odds are against it?? Anyone else out there ponder this subject? Have any thoughts? Wanna tell me how ridiculous this thread is?
Oh btw of the 22 T's I own only one was bought at a pet store the rest are all off of the boards here, found better deals and T here, so the rest probably will be too.
I have no life, I guess and my mind wanders all day. Well, actually I think it likes to retreat lately from the 4 kids home on summer vacation!!
Thanks for your time,
Laurie
