Im just curious, if anyone can possibly help me because different sites have me conflicted. Ive heard that some box turtles can hybridize and produce offspring. So heres my question- if a male ornate and a female carolina eastern produce hybrids (or is it intergrades), would the resulting neonates be fertile or sterile?
I ask cuz I have a male OBT named Wamu who lives with my Texas tort in an outdoor pen and Im considering purchasing a female CEB from a local breeder here in San Antonio who is thtinning out his captive population. I just want to be prepared.
The pics below is Wamu, pronounced 'waa-moo'. Its Japanese for 'worm' cuz he loves superworms, waxworms, mealworms, grubworms and nightcrawlers. But he eats any arthropod in his enclosure, plus dubia roaches from my colony that I use for my geckos.
