[QUOTE="Pravius_v2, post: 2028922, member: 118221"] Makes total sense and to be honest, I’m conflicted, but largely the way I view it, any deviation from their natural evolved state (genetically) represents a genetic deformation. I’m mainly referring to silkbacks, leather backs, etc. they have evolved genetically to have scales. In terms of health, gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma is what I’ve been seeing a lot of. I watched the beardievet interview and I tend to agree with his theory but until it’s studied more (which may never happen) it’s pure theory. I remember talking to many of those people you mentioned back in the day about their efforts to strengthen and diversify the gene pool but after seeing the current breeding landscape and doing some research on modern day breeders it seems that largely the attitude has changed. Back then I feel that people were breeding for the “right” reasons (love of the hobby, stronger (genetically or otherwise) animals, and ultimately passion for bearded dragons)… I’m afraid the majority of the driving intention today is money and people almost seem to value these morphs, which is ultimately what led me to ask for this feedback. I appreciate the responses :) [/QUOTE]
