Mixing Species

[ecmartin]

Is it even possible to mix leopard geckos to another species, say a fat tail or a banded gecko, the same way they make cross horses and donkeys to make mules

A morph is not considerd a different species of leopard gecko right?
I havent seen mixed species breeding with leopard gecko, maybe there is one a leopard gecko hybrid but I havent seen one.

E.turcmenicus and E.macularius have been hybridized that is the only cross I know of.

I feel like we are throwing around the words species and subspecies too easily here. If they were different species they would not produce viable young over and over like they do.

Not all Leopard Geckos are Eublepharis macularius ssp. I think thats what some of us are forgetting, E.turcmenicus and E.angramainyu are being bred in Europe as we speak.

Nigel is correct, but they are in limited numbers and in only a few people collections.

just curious, but do you know if the hybrid young are fertile?
