I am working with a few different hybrid projects at work. We didn't have pairs for a few things so we figured we may as well produce what we can.
We are pairing (m x f)
- Amazon x Emerald
- GTP x JCP
- JCP x Macklot's
The most promising at the moment seems to be the Amazon X Emerald pairing. My female is HUGE the past couple days and has been refusing food for weeks. I haven't seen anything going on in a while but they are more active when we catch them in the dark.
Has anyone produced these? I have never played with hybrid breeding before. I have heard you end up with a lot of slugs.
If the females start to appear gravid, Do I keep them the same way I would if they were carrying pure bred eggs? Are they're and tricks to ensure more live offspring?
Are the offspring of any of these pairings sterile? From what I understand the GTP x JCP are typically fine.
Any other info that might help me would be much appreciated
Please no negatives on hybridizing. This is a project pretty much to see what we can get. So many balls come out screwed up from the genetics of the morphs and no one seems to care. Hybrids CAN BE happy, healthy, eating, breeding animals and yet, to some it is a moral outrage. If you don't like it I completely respect your opinion and only ask for the same respect.
