So I'm very hopeful about getting a hybrid box. There's just so many types and they're all wonderful, but I wish to have only one turtle to pour my life into. It's important in a way that I can't describe.
So I want a mix, something unique with traits of more than one type.
Now there's just not that many for sale. Mostly I'm finding Florida/eastern crosses, which is really just an intergrade not a true hybrid. An ornate/eastern would be ideal. But I am open to others.
So do any reputable breeders actually make hybrids? Many keepers find them unethical or unsavory in some way. I don't care what they think. I don't want to buy from some shady mass seller, I'd like a healthy one from a real breeder, ideally.
Does anyone here have one? Where'd you get yours? What sources should I seek out? Is this just going to be a waiting game of checking morph market and kingsnake every few days for months hoping to get lucky?
