Regardless of the negitive and "know it all's " opinions...I still think these are ultra cool ....Yes a True Hybrid ' ...
Lepracuttas~ ( mother was a sullie and pops a leo ) produced from a friend of mine , who I have owned since hatchlin's. The development has been an awesome experience watching the changes take place..... , and of course all the "silly" debates and "pokes" in here when I choose to share them . Also what I find interesting is the folks who make comments and make these out to be so common and no big deal ( after they slam the idea of them ) ...if thats the case I would love to see those " tons of them out there " pictures or documentation about them . In the 30 yrs + I have owned torts and just about any herp you can name .....I have only seen these twice.
Guess I like to be different......:D

GROSS!!!!

Just kidding, the only issue I have JD is that they look more like sulcatas than leopards...otherwise I would say they are cool. Next time try to get some hybrids that look more like leopards. :p

I don't like the color of the sulcata mixed with the leopard color, they kinda clash if you know what i mean. It would look cool if it was an ivory sulcata and a leopard. That thing would have some nice colors.

I think they are VERY cute! Even tho some don't agree with the mixing of the 2, they make very cute babies! :)

Oh my goodness tortoise porn. Something about this picture strikes me as very very funny.
Need to use this picture for the Calendar for April. The expression on Papa is priceless,, maybe February?

I don't belive in cross breeding, but the tortoises are beautiful.

The only difference I see is the shape of the carapace. It's high domed like the Leopard, but other than that it's a Sulcata. The Mom is especially gorgeous tho...

Well Maggie true , although one of them has a much different shaped head than other sullies . its more leo shaped. Also the retention of the spots is different than most sullies as well as the black freckled skin ( not pictured) ..... ya look one time I see sullie .. glance again from different view I see leo. Part of the fun in owning them , watching the development from day 1.....
