Hybrid?

[landon]

Would a male marginated and female spur thighed tortoise have a possibility of mating? And if they did would there be a possibility of hybrid babies? I assume it wouldn't work I'm just curious

I've never heard of this happening, but I would discourage the attempt even. Species should not be mixed.

Yep that is highly probable. Especially since they're same genus of tortoises. I also agree with toms views on the matter of hybridization.

Don't do it.
Not a good idea and they may have pathogens that are not harmful to themselves, but may be to the other species.

I love hybrids.

Within the snake community inbreeding for morphs happen on a regular basis? as well as leopard geckos? I am not going to try and create a new hybrid myself as I do not have the proper knowledge to do it safely. I am just curious if it's been done.
