 Stupid Question about breeding

as far as i know they cannot because they are of different species. they may be of the same genus and family (agama) but since they are not close enough related they cannot breed. well lets take that into a more scientificly. lol yes the can "breed" as in copulate. but they are not able to produce viable babies (gametes)

Dogs even though they look so different (chihuahaha and great dane!!) they are able to breed and produce living babies because they are of the same species. (Canis familiaris)

there are animasl that are sort of in the middle of these two. like a horse and a donkey. they make a mule. the only problem is that mules are sterile meaning they cant ever breed with other mules to make more mules.

right no more science. but we can let Cloud and Mama have all the science fun *giggle*


uhhh some people have put them together but its highly advised not to. reason is one comes from the arid australia and the other comes from rainforests of asia. though they pretty much need the same requirements they are not exactly the same. so best kept apart to be truly happy and healthy =)
