Can leopard geckos and crested geckos crossbreed?

Question

Excellent jess!

Answer 1

haha... no.

they are a different species of gecko.

and even in the wild would never cross paths.

as leos are desert geckos and cresteds are arboreal (rainforest) geckos.

nature has a way of keeping species from cross breeding with special detectors on the sperm and egg of same species.

even you could get them to mate, nothing would fertilize and no fertile egg would be laid.

the reason why man has been able to cross breed different species has been through years of genetic alterations and removing these gene detectors on the sperm and egg.
