[QUOTE="Pravius_v2, post: 2028691, member: 118221"] Preface, I used to be big into breeding Dragon's back in the late 90's/early 2000's when names like Sandfire, Peter Weis, etc were the leading breeders in the hobby. I left the hobby around 2011 when most of my original dragon's had either passed or moved into different homes and I started to focus heavy on my career (IT). Back then I was concerned for the future of the gene pool because Australia has banned the export of wild dragon's many moons ago, so no real good way to introduce fresh / new genes into the pool of captive BD's over the years. I am getting back into the hobby because my now 4 year old daughter has shown some interest in keeping reptiles and I am excited to teach her the proper ways to care for them. As I have been researching, I am seeing a significant amount of what I perceive to be genetic issues (most people see them as morphs) and wonder if the gene pool is just shrinking because of so many back yard breeders and no real way to track bloodlines anymore. Any opinions on this? Curious to hear other perspectives that have been into breeding for some time. [/QUOTE]
