cute!

are they mules?

 

[Yvonne G]

They have such pretty faces. Do you subscribe to the "spray 'til they drip" school of thought?

 

[TortieLuver]

They look like they have more of the Sulcata look to them as the dominant genes.

Well yes ... I do ...actually , 2x a day ...once in the am and again in the evening. They have been like that since age 3 weeks. So we shall see how the regiment works on a so called " dry species" . The Rf's of course, thrive for the cooler / wetter enviorment. Their " hut" has built in misters that get zapped twice a day too!

Actually .. I see both ...and one more of a sully face and tempral' scale pattern. Coloring more like leos' , shell shape more dome like a leo but with enlarged serrations around rim like a sully. The mother was a Sully, and Pop's a Leo ...btw~

Do they walk around together?

It's a little difficult to get use to. I see leopard torts then I blink and they are sullies, another glance and they are leos again. It is quite distinct in my eyes which traits come from which animal.

I just really find these guys fascinating.

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Nice!

So weird. They really do look half and half. I would have thought that one or the other species would have shown more dominant traits, but they really do look half and half.

Thanks for the pics.

 

[Cameron]

Definitely look interesting. I have never seen a sulcata/leopard hybrid before. Really cool, keep the pics coming!

 

[ChiKat]

It will be very interesting to see what they look like full-grown! I wonder how big they will get.

 

[Livingstone]

Was the male a leopard or sulcata?

Gosh, ~JD~, they are for sure neat!

 

[TebowHammer]

Wow JD...that's an impressive lot!

Just like Cameron, I've never seen a leopard/sulcata hybrid before. And now I want one!

Just out of curiosity - generally speaking, do hybrids tend to be closer to leopards or sulcatas in size?

Well Tyler, not sure about that ... I personally havnt seen any grown up?....it was just a few years back when I even saw one for the first time. I was not the producer of these but a very knowledgeable and super nice guy who I got the pleasure to meet and obtain these two lil ones , late last year. I have constant growth rates logged and will be fun to share as we all are curious to see how these two turn out.... such as size , weight , color ect.
