If you're doing it just for the sake of breeding them, then I wouldn't advise it.

It will be OK as far as I can see. It happens with reptiles for breeders to breed specific traits. From what Ive read before, as long as your not heavilly breeding 6th, 7th 8th.... generations together its fine. Thats apparantly when the gene pool starts to thin out a bit, and its good to get some fresh blood in so to speak!

However, I am not an expert in this either lol
