Babcocki X Pardalis.. Whatever Pic

[onarock]

I recently got a p.pardalis female that was kept with a babcocki male. She had layed eggs for the previous owner but none ever hatched. During the purchase she tells me that the female layed some eggs during her "off" season. She normally layed during the summer months, but decided to lay in January. She thought that they would be unfertile, but I took my chances anyway and dug them up. Well 120 (about) in the incubator and look what I found this morning.

RE: Babcocki X Paralis.. What ever Pic

Is it bad to hybridize leopard tortoises subspecies together?

 

[onarock]

Not bad, but frowned upon...

The little guy looks great! 1 out of 120? Paul is the color right on the little guy?

 

[onarock]

Ha! Sorry Greg 120 days in the incubator. I dug up 12 and this is the first to hatch, but it looks like more will be on the way tonight or tomorrow. That is its color. Different than any others that I have hatched.

Love the coloring, lucky you! Little time and effort and a great reward!

Very Nice. I wonder if it will take on the mother or father genes? The Hybrid I had was a combination of both species.

The shell pattern reminds me of a domino, you know, like the game dominos.
