Well, you CAN. If it's a relatively common turtle it probably doesn't matter, the babies from such first generation crosses almost always come out fine. However, if it's an exotic species, it's not something I'd want to do to the gene pool. Your call, though.

"The serpent crams itself with animal life that is often warm and vibrant, to prolong an existence in which we detect no joy and no emotion. It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."
