am I the only person who see's this as a wrong thing? I know you are not doing this intentional, but in the wild this is not something that would occure. Personally if it was me and your female laid, I wouldnt allow the eggs to hatch.

Ok I know a lot of people dont like corss breeding but I see nothing wrong with it, if we find out that the eggs are always infertile or they keep being perfectly safe (dont keep hatching deformed hatchlings, which cant happen in any case). You know how they get the best plants and seeds, the cross breed to get the best specimen.

Im not really for or against it. TO each their own. If I saw a cross breed I really liked I would get it. But you guys do realize that leopard geckos were corss bred a lot with other subspecies.

I am curious why it is people are opposed to crossbreeding. Personally, I see no real need for it, as there are nice specimens on both side of the isle, but I don't really care if someone else does is. Each to his/her own. Are people against it because they think sometime down the road it will fall upon them to repopulate the wild? If that's the case, rest assured, it isn't going to happen. If it is because you don't really see a need for it, then why be opposed? I mean.... if your for it, or against it, isn't it really the decision of whoever is doing the breeding? Crossbreeding happens all the time in the wild... maybe not to the extent that it could be possible in captivity, and sure, the animals being crossed may never get a chance to even see eachother in the wild, but if it CAN happen, is it REALLY that bad? Is one or two instances of crossing really going to be the downfall of a species? I'm thinking no....

Yeah people are against this but so many breeders inbreed leos? And I have seen pictures of deformed hatchling. Maybe it was taken to far?
