Greetings!

As I've been gathering information on turtle hybridization, I've run across several references to turtle hybrids in the kingsnake.com archives. Can anyone verify or provide more information on the following turtle hybrids? Any information on other turtle hybrids would also be helpful. Thanks!

I've heard of most of these hybrids. I have actually seen pictures of the Sulcata X leopard cross. I have seen pictures of Redfoot X yellow foot cross.

Personally I have six hatchlings now that are False Map X Texas Map. I have both parents.

Thanks Steve!

Do you remember where you saw the pictures? I am also interested in any other info. or pictures you have of the False X Texas Maps (sex of parents, when/where/how hybridized, and any other specifics you may have). Thanks again! Let me know if you want to reply off-line.

Best Wishes,
Tim
