Have you guys ever heard of a redcata? I didn’t know it was a thing til now it’s a sulcata and red foot breed mixed. Really different.. ?
Thats so sad!!!! How do you know what its body needs at that point??? Do I feed grass? Fruit? Chicken? ?Have you guys ever heard of a redcata? I didn’t know it was a thing til now it’s a sulcata and red foot breed mixed. Really different.. ?

Visually I'm sure its really pretty, but no!
Ik, it’s crazy!
I know and the one has two heads. It’s on an Instagram page.So weird....
I dont think those live long....I know and the one has two heads. It’s on an Instagram page.
I’d believe it!I dont think those live long....
Maybe once in a while, but i heard animals like that tend to have all kinds of weird things going on inside.
I'd hate to see tortoises go the way of the bearded dragon or various geckos where it seems like with all the fancy morphs you just don't see many normals.It's heartbreaking to see mixes like this. The diet problem is bad enough, but soon you won't be able to find a full blooded, pure leopard or sulcata.
Man fools with a lot of stuff that he really needs to leave alone. ??
I only heard about mix breed of leopard and sulcataHave you guys ever heard of a redcata? I didn’t know it was a thing til now it’s a sulcata and red foot breed mixed. Really different.. ?
I think they should be like mule or liger or tigon. They will not be that unhealthy or have short life but they may not be able to breed next generation.And does anyone know if these hybrid tortoises are sterile like mules (a cross between a horse and a donkey)? Personally, I hope they are.

I was researching the number of chromosomes in various tortoises and not finding the answer I was looking for when I found this rather fascinating article and I thought I’d post it even though it isn’t quite on topic. https://dnascience.plos.org/2018/12...nt-lonesome-george-leaves-clues-to-longevity/That would depend on the number of chromosomes. To make sexually viable offspring, it comes down to the number of chromosomes. Horses have 64. Donkeys have 62. Mules and Hinnys have 63.
Animals that have an odd number of chromosomes are usually sterile because their chromosomes can’t be divided evenly during meiosis.
Does anyone know the number of chromosomes in Sulcatas or Redfoots?
