[/font]Everybody likes to see pics of leopards, here are a couple of pics of my newest. A female, 14" long and about 18 pounds.

It will be interesting to see what she produces. All the leopard/sulcata mixes I know of were from a female sulcata and a male leopard.

Usually the sulcata males are way too big for a leopard female, but she's got some size, and I understand that the sulcata was young and about her size. Eventhough I wouldn't have bred her outside of her species, if I get eggs, I will incubate them. As far as the breeding goes, instead of leopcatas, I suppose they'd be sulpards. Could be very different from the others we've seen. Look at Ligers and Tigons - completely different. We shall see.
I don't want to be know as a hybridizer, however if the damage is done, a clutch of eggs could buy me a proper mate for her.
