    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Do Breeders cross breed reptiles such as Red tegus with Black and white tegus? If so are they healthy, or distinguishable from them both, If not why couldnt they breed?.
 
Hybridization is the technical term for what you're talking about.  It happens all the time, both in nature and in people's reptile rooms.  It's funny, the definition for species is: related organisms that can interbred and produce healthy fertile offspring.  The reptile industry and even reptiles in general have basically blow that definition into oblivion.  Everyone knows about red rat snakes crossing w/ yellow rat snakes.  Not a big stretch, just a sub species really.  But we've gone so far as to cross CA KING snakes w/ red RAT snakes, those are in a different genus from each other and they aren't even the only example.   <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>
