Kevin....I wouldn't recommend it because they are not the same subspecies. Blue beauties come from n. Thailand mostly, and Taiwan beauties come from the island of Taiwan. You could probably cross them, but then you wouldn't have a true ssp. of either.

One of the problems of herpetoculture, as some of us see it, is keeping the various species and subspecies genetically pure. This is especially important for uncommon or endangered species.
