So whats everyones thoughts on leo x sul babies? I'm not quite sure how I feel about it.
I know they cover some of the same range in the wild bit I can't believe it would happen in the wild so should it be done in captivity?

The area the historicly overlap is tiny and I've never heard of a natural hybrid being found.

I'd like to get some to play with.

Yeah initially I was very hesitant but after seeing and reading about them I'm not sure. I couldn't find a pic of an adult cross though, anyone got one?
I'm like you ed, not sure if I'd breed them myself but wouldn't mind playing with one either. anyone know of any genetic deformities or problems with these?

Depends on what is considered an adult. Mine is only three years old, but she is 15" scl.
