A guy had about 1/2 dozen "leop-catas" at the Reptile Show today...he was asking $1500 per and they weren't selling.
Sadly, there wasn't a single European tortoise except for WC Russians, going for about what Petco's getting for them.

I'm all for selling hatchlings for as much as you want, but even though none were selling I think some people might see what they're charging and think they can get a bunch of money for hybrids so they go and and start doing it. Mark my words in a few months or years we will be seeing A LOT of this and in different variations too.
I understand that it shouldnt have happened,and i intend to breed eventually and id never do this but i have to admit it caught my interest and makes me wanna stay tuned to see how this does effect the industry. LIKE YOU SAID WUTS NEXT WHERE WILL IT STOP.

It won't stop as long as there's profit in it.shoud it be done is a huge debate.the debate is just talk though cause at the end of the day it can't be stopped.people on here have made comments about how can you be part of something your against,one called me bi polar.why because im not a fanatic,you can be part of something that you don't completely agree with.everyone on here is part of society do you all agree with every aspect of it,you all support your governments do you agree with all they do?do the phrase's openminded or free thought lite any bulbs out there.one person on here who i know is very knowledgeable,asked why do you assume people don't know what there talking about.I ask why i should assume that they do.i'm a show me kinda guy.
True it will happen....
and i cant lie i wouldnt mind seeing pictures of it at a year old or so on.....

No wonder they weren't selling. For $1500 I could get a really nice blonde female (or 2) for Dozer
If they're going to even attempt to sell for that much then they need to give them a good flashy name...just like the designer dogs have Were they at least nice looking? Could you tell they were a hybrid or did they look like one species versus the other?

Or, perhaps an albino Hermann's...
A buddy went to the Reptile show late Sunday and he'd sold maybe one.

Cool lookng enough, looking like a leopard-patterned sulcata, but not THAT cool looking!
Certainly not $1500 worth!
