We have a couple of receptive 13 month old Nosy Faly females, but a reluctant Nosy Faly male that just gets increasingly aggressive in their presence. We've tried everything short of dimming the lights and playing mood music. For the time being we've stopped trying with him and are just hoping he figures things out before our other Faly females become receptive.
Meanwhile we have several beautiful males from other locales that are very eager breeders.
We're debating crossing locales. I realize this is borderline sacrilegious for some members of this forum--and I respectfully acknowledge your position. However, without a willing Nosy Faly male, we are conflicted about having these females instead lay infertile clutches... especially when we we're pretty sure a cross would result in beautiful and unique animals.
We're specifically considering crossing one of our Nosy Mitsio males with one or both of the Faly females. Has anyone seen a cross of these two locales?
We also have eager Nosy Be and Ambilobe males who are paired with females (of their same locale) that are currently gravid, so they're also "available".
Anyone have thoughts/feedback on a potential cross of a Nosy Mitsio male with a Nosy Faly female?
If we do go forward with crossing the locales, we'll of course be completely transparent if/when any offspring are sold. We have 2.4 Nosy Mitsio with 3 females currently gravid and a lot of pure Mitsio eggs incubating--and we certainly don't want to compromise THEIR reputation as pure Mitsios...
