Burm, Ball python Hybrids now .. Burmball's ..

Anyone see these yet? Going to be awesome when BP's are banned from being bought because people are cross bredding *sigh*

I have seen them before, and know there's some controversy surrounding hybrids... but all of that aside, I must say it's one GREAT looking snake! If I were into giants and/or hybrids, I'd be all over that.

oh heck no! that crossbreeding BETTER NOT get ball pythons banned!

I am intrigued. Behaviorally is it more of a burm or a ball? I don't suppose there is enough of them to know how long they tend to get.

If it was for all practical purposes a ball that looks different and gets a couple feet longer I'd want one.

the burmball has been around for a while now, supposedly like most hybrids it shows behaviors similar to both pythons, and also seems to have the small dog syndrome.. thinking it's much bigger and scarier than it is, lol! At least according to what I read about it at the time. I think it chilled out? I wonder if that's the same one I saw? If it is, she was hatched in 2007 from an 'accidental' pairing. Of course if it was an accident, leaving a ball python in a burmese python's cage was a bad idea to begin with! From the description it sounds like it is the same snake or at least from the same pairing--female albino burm to male ball python. I wonder if it's mostly done growing, or at least through with it's mega growth spurts now!
