Gosh that's pretty, it does look like the radiated/sully hybrids I have seen other pics of.

My thoughts are that species should not be mixed and hybridization should be strongly discouraged.

I'm not sure that some species can't be successfully kept together, although there are clear risks. But hybridization of any endangered species, and most chelonians are endangered or threatened in some way, is a terrible thing to do.

Imagine how much better it would look if it was smooth. Beautiful non the less. Al, where did the picture come from?

It was on sale in Malaysia apparently and a Spanish speaker on another site asked what people thought it was.
