I recently saw an ad on either fauna classifieds or king snake advertising hybrid (interspecific) box turtles. I think they were a cross between flabts and obts. I think that intentional hybridizing should be avoided as it represents a threat to the genetic integrity of the captive populations. I ask that you do not purchase hybrids and maybe boycott those who intentionally hybridize for commercial reasons (for the sole purpose of selling them).
