Anyone keep hybrids? Have seen some really interesting (not to mention pretty females in the previous thread... anyone got any more?

Little o/t but this is my New Mex female who decided yesterday she'd rather reproduce than hibernate. Her name is Elmo and she's possibly the laziest collared I've ever met:

I was a little disappointed at first that I am not going to be able to brumate as soon as I would have liked, but now I'm plain curious as to what her hatchlings will be like, she's New Mex and her mate is a yellow Texan

Maybe they will be fancy, like this

These are older pics of some that I got from David Rutherford in Artesia NM this summer. They are really beefed up now. I'll try to get better pics when he warm up really good later. These are definitely unusual crosses of some kind.

Thanks! And I am just awed by those yellow heads a little farther up!

Here's one of my kids I raised, the lovely Chinoza, C. vestigium Daddy ( Chino) and C. bicinctores mommy ( Zia) She's sweet looking, very lightly colored, with tons of spots, and built chunkier like a vestigium. Longer snout also.
