Thanks for showing us their pictures. I've been wondering about them. My untrained eye doesn't see the "hybrid" part, but I'm interested all the same.

I can see the hybrid for sure. They have Leo heads and baby scutes, but the new growth and shell shape is all Sully... So are their legs. It will be interesting to watch them progress.

BEAUTIFUL!! The last pic is cute. It has a leo head. Aww. I didn't know leopards and sulcatas can mate. I want one of them xD

I take one thing back... Now that I look more, the shell shape isn't ALL Sully... they are slightly more domed than a pure Sully. Gorgeous nonetheless.

Howdy Gang ... nice to see the kuddo's on these little guys .:)
They are really alot of fun and full of personality for sure.Also a great project and hopefully in a few years some neat
" documented" insight to these wonderful little torts. These little guys were hatched in Dec of 2010 , which puts them around 5.5 months old. When I recieved them they were 34 and 31 grams each. Within the first month they both gained a whopping 10 grams!.... I will be doing a new weigh~in shortly ....and it shall be fun to see the new "specs" ......
By the way .... the Mother was a 120# sully with a large 40# Poppa Leo . Hope this answers some questions~:shy:
Happy tort~N to every one .....
Peace~
JD~:)
