Something that I have asked about but have gotten very little information on is the ability for species/subspecies to hybridize. I’m not looking to hybridize any box turtles just curious how close a relation is held between them. So far the info I have is that eastern/three toed/gulf/Florida can all hybridize to create integrades with each other. I’ve heard rumors that sometimes three toeds and western box turtles can hybridize but haven’t found any evidence although their range overlaps a bit. I’ve never heard of an ornate box turtle and any other subspecies creating a hybrid and I’ve even heard talk that threetoeds can be classed as a different species all together. If anyone has any more evidence or data on this topic I’d be very thankful
