I'm new to this herpetology thing and had what is probably a very stupid question...

When you breed two different species to create a hybrid....are the F1's sterile like other animals?

Or can you breed F1 hybrids to produce offspring?

I have been buying a lot of hybrids for my "poject" and just realized I might be retarded and bought a bunch of sterile snakes.

Thanks in advance for any help on this subject.

Ive never heard of a colubrid hybrid being sterile, but i know like that mules are. I think ppl are starting to realize that all hybrids arent sterile.....for example.....someone had a tigon (or a liger i dont remember) and housed it with another tiger w/o neutering bc they thought it was sterile. They ended up with babies lol....i saw this on animal planet

Most mules are sterile, but not all. I dont remember where I saw it but I know theres been a few cases of mules breeding.
Wolf dogs are considered hybrids and they can breed. There are many hybrid falcons and hawks being bred for falconers (now I dont think falcons have been crossed with hawks though).

Lol when I saw the movie Jurasic park. I knew thast dinosaur/lizard looked familiar. What is that type of lizard called?
Lia

....yep...its like the one on jurassic park

The dinosaur in Jurassic Park was called Dilophosaurus. It was actually quite a large animal, at least 10 feet long if I remember, and we don't know if they had a frill. That was sort of a poetic license on the part of the movie makers. All we know from the bones is that they had two bony crests on their head. The venom spitting was also a 'guess'... but I've seen a skeleton and I don't think they needed it! They looked scary! I think it stemmed from the theory that they couldn't kill their own prey because their crests were too fragile... but I still don't buy it.

So they only looked like frilled lizards in the movie, but in reality were pretty different and could have killed you through brute force alone, is my point.

(the most inaccurate depiction in the book, IMO, if you don't count the tree dwelling Hysilophodonts. Of course, I'm not a Dino-ologist. I just have lots of opinions.)

Thanks. The part when he spit out a tar type of substance I knew was not true either lol. I wouldnt mind one day seeing some of them cloned like the movie.

I want a pet Troodon. Then I'll be happy. (a tiny 10 pound 'raptor'). It could sleep in my dog's crate. Oh yeah... Dilophosaurus was 20 feet long, I was wrong about the size.
