[portal_reptiles]

About 10 min. ago, i hatched out 2 Sara X crested hybrids, no crests, tiger like body patten with the head shape and the side bans of a sara. will be posting pics soon.

[portal_reptiles]

thanks...they look transparent in their body colors, think this will darken up, the mother was a red tiger, hoping for red offspring

[katatonia]

I have one thing to say..... WOW.  I mean, every one is entitled to their opinion, but some of that stuff....     In the interest of not starting something that could turn ugly, I believe an e-mail or phone call (rather than here in public  ) would get my TRUE feelings about all that across quite nicely!    I'll give you a call at your "laboratory", later....

Very interesting Lance.  Really looking forward to seeing how they mature and develop and if they are mules or viable.

I would love to see if you could take a HUGE male crestie and cross to a Leachie but I think (and this sounds like the punchline of a bad joke)  when you cross a male crestie with a female leachie you get a headless male crestie!!

lol... i think your right

And the people on that other forum who said these babies look just like 'normal" cresties to them must not have seen too many crestie hatchlings.  Clearly these are very smooth sided and look more like red saras with a crestie tail marking.

i dont know.....the heads are more like saras, very smooth and head markings are all sara, think the toes are longer like a sara too, i havent messed with them too much, dont wanta stress them out. but the tails are crestie like and the tiger patteren is like a crestie...hope they turm red, that would be sick

I'm not a huge fan of hybrids but to attack you like those on the other forums just terrible.
I understand wanting see how different species are genetically compatible (or not), I love biology, and I'm personally curious of a few hybrids myself.

Awesome lil buggers u hatched out, they r cool looking and I bet they will look great as adults!

that's one of the reasons I hate posting there. You guys here would shoot low blows to make anyone look bad. That's why this site is one of my favs

Well look you can only do what your conscience tells you.  You are a responsible person going about this in a responsible way.  They can have whatever opinions they want.  It still is an interesting project that opens a wealth of possibilities should you produce viable offspring.  NOW -- do you think a chewie X sara is possible? OOR take the chewie x crestie and mate it back to a sara or this hybrid if it is a viable one.  See what I mean?  you can try so many different things and who knows what kind of wild "pet" lizards you can produce.

And like I said you can always produce that headless crestie male by attempting  the leachie cross!

Good question, the thing is i dont know is if the saraXcrested hybrid produces male or females or both........because chahouaXcresteds F1's are males, i would need a female sara hybrid. I think it could be possible to produce a saraXchahoua. I dont know which way i would try. But think i it can be done...if anyone does, let me know.....

Very funny, Steve..... a sort of "mantis syndrome", if you will?

Indeed, except that in this case you would likely never get to the mating phase before decapitation occurs.  Leachies are some rough trade breeders when they start tearing into each other.  I have gone into my herp room and found my male with a female's head entirely in his mouth.  Yet with my other female he is gentle as can be.

Needless to say the first female and he are on extended time out.  I don't think a female leachie would give a crestie male the courtesy of just holding on to his head in her mouth.  She would likely go for that protein.  WHAM!!!
