I know some of the breeder like to mix breed their sulcata and leopard together. Let me think what you think.

Species should never be mixed and I abhor hybrids. I don't like hybridization in fish, birds, snakes, tortoises or anything else.

Ok. I think 90% of tortoise fans don’t like the mix breed. Let me throw another question . Why human can accept mix dog,cat,bird,horse these kind of animal but not reptile?

People start doing this with the hopes of getting the best of both species.
What happens when they get the worst and create a deformed monster? This time it's a beautiful looking tort, but how about inside?
Is it going to be the beginning of deafness in dalmatians, dysplasia in large dogs, breathing difficulties in pug nosed breeds, aggression? I wonder what all can go wrong with a tortoise irresponsibly bred??
Leave them as God made them!

Because all dogs, cats and horses are breeds created by humans. They're all the same the genetic species.


Leopard Tortoises and Sulcatas are all different genetic species. They are not different breeds.

I wouldn't condone it in different species of birds birds either.

We don't. Most humans don't accept inter species dog breeding either. dog/coyote, dog/wolf, etc. I don't like it. If you're talking collie, terrier, bloodhound, all those are the same species.

Generally speaking. Dogs were from wolf. After thousands years, now they become our best friend because of human needed. But I’m not discuss dog history.

My real question is why we do not like cross breed tortoise if we could. Look at the turtle industry and snake industry. Shall we think twice?

Turtles, snakes and other wildlife aren't industry. They are creatures that some people bring into their care.

And we have told you that we don't agree with cross breeding species. You don't agree with us: that's your prerogative. It's not up for discussion as far as I am concerned as I will not be convinced otherwise and I suspect you won't either. So with that, I shall leave this thread

Isn’t sulcata and leopards somehow the same genetic species?

Plz excuse my English. I am talking about people cross breeding turtles and making them a new creatures. I am taking about human hatching albino snakes.

I’m open to all the possibilities. However I am a pure breed fans.

Thank you.
