A few years ago I saw people keeping the two species in the same enclosure, and I've seen people mislabel L. verrucosa as L. subcincta before, so it's possible for newbies to put them together by accident. I've seen people claim they cannot hybridise, but nobody seemed to have actually tested...

My hybrid hissers are being little jerks and chewing on the plastic lid of my enclosure (plotting a long term escape plan?) and I'd enjoy if they stopped doing that.

I'm looking for  - easy care/not sensitive/room temperature 25°C - interesting to watch (at least like my current ones)  - not the kind to swoop out of the enclosure the moment you open the lid - wingless or flight lazy - preferably no stinkers (my glowspots already have their smell, that's...

I bought them from a pet store and I can't tell how reliable that method is haha. I'm curious about whether they're hybrids or real Madagascar hissers. But no matter the result I will still love them the same because they're just precious.  I took pictures of a male here, don't have any of the...
