Re: bloodline crossing
Along those lines, I have imi's that are labeled Nabors line that I currently keep separate from an imi that is from INIBCO and another that is a NaborxVillagis cross. All are identical looking and just about impossible to tell apart.
If I am isolating the Nabors line imi's for breeding purposes isn't this a bit like breeding brothers and sisters? Not considered genetically healthy for humans, not sure about frogs :? As all my frogs will never make it back into the wild in their native habitat and are destined to live in little glass houses a long way away from the rain forest, what's the point of keeping them separate? Often the problem with remote isolated numbers of a variety of rare animals is a lack of diversity in the bloodlines.
Again, I currently keep mine separate-however the reality of the situation is it probably doesn't matter.
