Hi, was wondering if anybody had any success breeding these guys. Have heard that the males tend to be infertile. Not sure if this is true or not. I do know they are a hybrid, so combining 2 different species to create them works, but can a male and female red severum breed successfully. Thanks for any feedback.
 
Do you mean red spotted/super red or red headed/rotkeil severums?

I guess i meant superreds, but i have a few red spotted (think they're called "snakeskin" variety). They were being called super reds by the distributor but came in with random red spots only instead of a bloodred allover look.

After i started this thread i did a lil research on the site and a few months back there was a similar thread stating that they have been breed successfuly using superreds only but it seems you need much luck doing so. Worth a try i suppose
