hybrid

[crestedgecko]

Hi, I saw on repashy.com that someone had a hybrid between a crested and a chahoua. I really like it, would I be able to get one in Canada or at the toronto expo?

Thank You

Highly doubt it.

Also, if there was one there, expect to pay lots of cash for it.

[crestedgecko]

Ok, thank for the info. Do you know how much normal chahoua's cost?

[CDN-Cresties]

Im not to sure but I think they are failry expensive. Im not sure if your plan is to buy a chahoua and then breed it to a crestie but if it is I highly recommend that you dont.

Chahouas run about 400 - 500 around here. I agree with Steve, don't know if you're planning on crossing them, but that just doesn't seem right. Just my opinion!

I don't agree with hybrids either, and neither do some of the 'big' name breeders. As a matter of fact, there's been a fair bit of discussion about the ethics of this particular cross, not one comment was even the slightest favourable. Just because it can be done, doesn't mean it has to be. Considering that the wild populations of all Rhacs are already being threatened from human intrusion, fire ants, habitat desctruction etc, we should try to keep the species pure. Just my way of thinking, not saying it's right.
I wouldn't even consider buy anything from the breeder that I know is producing hybrids and wouldn't recommend him/her/them to anyone.

Just my way of thinking, not saying it's right.

Well let me do it for you, your right. I don't see the point of that.

Ya, I deffinatly wouldn't try to make a hybrid. I would never even try that, if that ever were to happen I would leave it to the big time breeders. I was just wondering how much it was because it is something that I am thinking about getting.

Thank You

Thats the thread in case anyone was interested =)

I own chahoua's and cresties and gargoyles and would never consider it. I believe the species should be kept pure and not experimented with, just my opinion.

That's disgusting if it's true...looks like normal chahoua..wonder who he got it from?

[crestedgecko]

Hi, just to clear everything up. I would never try to make a hybrid. I wasn't going to try to make a hybrid if I got a chououo ( I probably spelled that wrong). I was just asking how much they were because after finding out that it is wrong to hybrid them I thought that getting a normal chuouo would be cool instead of one of those hybrid things.

Thank You

Hey Crestedgecko: you would not regret spending your money on chahoua's. They have such personalities and so laid back. I say that cause I have a couple and they love to get out and socialize.
