Re: Gtp x sd retic

There are some pretty small super dwarf retics, and a few extra large green trees, I dont think it's outside the realm of possibility they would lock up.

Re: Gtp x sd retic

you mean it would have read "little Jossh27".

i definitely have a clearer view of why people frown upon it now.

i don't think you think i was taking a jab at you Aaron, but just to clean and dust from the air... i wasn't

Nope. No worries. I was just having fun with the explanation. Paint a picture instead of just reciting what's been said many times before.

Just a different approach.

Like I said, I don't care what people do I just wish it was for less selfish reasons than "Because I can".

We as humans don't always have to do things just because we can.

Re: Gtp x sd retic

I agree with aaron on this about watering down of the bloodlines. The point I wast trying to make was that for the most part the husbandry requirments for carpets are pretty similar. However the husbandry requirments for retics and gtp are quite different. so the problem is when the babies are born how are you going to have a habitat set up for them? what temps will you keep? what humidity levels will you need? how many babies will you loose dialing in these requirments?

I personally would offer a wide variety of temps and multiple humidity levels and see where they hang out most. I think a hybrid of these two may be interesting but not sure if it's really possible.
