possible?
« on: March 27, 2009, 02:21:11 PM »
i was wondering if it was possible to successfuly mate a dwarf retic to a dwarf burm and produce dwarf bat eaters. then breed them back to a dwarf retic to produce dwarf jungle retics? has this been done before? any info will be appreciated. thanks

I have no idea, but their is only one way to find out... :Nike:

But you had better be ready to deal with all the off spring along the way!  Remember that when you start playing with Hybrids the market becomes a lot smaller, so you could end up taking care of the extra off spring that don't meet the experiments criteria that you still have to take care of until another person interested in your experiment comes along.  Also documentation and observation is 99.9% of science, so don't take any short cuts and have plenty of paper and pens handy.    :party1:

Theoretically, it would be possible. I haven't hear it tried before though. I know a lot of people aren't into hybrids, however, that does sound pretty cool.

yah, im going to have to do a LOT of work and genetics type stuff. im taking my time working into it slowly. doing research, you know the "fun stuff".  i talked to some big retic breeders and dwarf breeders and they say that the market for retics is in the dwarfs because of their size and easier to take care of. so i think that when i do this, if i keep the price realitivly low, they should sell. as for the hybrid stuff, i know a lot of people are against hybrids for one reason or another, but the trick is to find a hybrid friendly site. i know a few of these, and im sure plenty of big snake hybrid lovers will be intrested. thanks for the input guys!
