Hey guys, Im planning to breed ball pythons as my staple, but I have a female burm as well, and im considering *attempting* to get a split clutch of burmballs. I know the odds are stacked against me, but I figure I might as well try. But I just had an idea. Why not replace the male burm in the equasion with a male Reticulated? Then If I got any babies at all, Id either get burmballs, bat eaters, or both. Im fairly confident Id be able to move bat eaters, but even if I couldnt right away I can easily build a few racks and keep them until I can find homes for them.

Now, I did a lot of reading on burms and I know them as a species pretty well from research and experience, but I know very close to nothing about Reticulated pythons. This guy would not only be part of that breeding project but also a family pet. So I was wondering if you guys could tell me how they differ in temperment? I heard they can be a little fiestier. They get longer, but not heavier, and if raised well can be just as sweet as a well raised burm. But again thats all things I found roaming the internet. Thought Id ask people who dealt with them on a regular basis for reliable opinions. Also has anyone ever dealt with bateaters? I can hardly find anything about them on the internet. Size temperment etc. Thanks in advance!
