Tell that to my Ornate female Diamond. All her children are hybrid three toed, lol. Of course, she was our only active breeding female for a year or so. Now she has Lyle so maybe she will start laying pure eggs.
He already has. Within two days he was spreading his DNA to as many of the females as he could find then he dug a burrow and retired.I meant wild hybrids. Of course in captivity turtles cross more often but that's usually to a lack of a same species mate. I think Lyle is handsome enough to win her over
Your telling me. He has 1800 sq feet of planted garden with three types of squash, five varieties of cherry tomatoes, two types of non-hot pepper (banana and green bell), two types of egg plant and several gourd varieties. All of that comes with a nice sized Bale with a 1.25 to 2 ratio of males to females, five swimming pools, dozens of hides, daily shower and food delivery which includes mango, fig, apple and banana. I am considering moving in with them. My Uncle spoils the turtles to no end. Once a week he fills a huge tub with warm water and they get a nice bath. It is funny to watch because they muddy the water instantly so all you see is waves and heads popping up all over the place. Still, with all that, Lyle moved out into the "yard" area and dug his own hide! Go figure.What a life!
