Somewhat inspired by the hybrid pythons featured by Bryan of BHB..

I've seen a retic/burm cross, burm/rock cross, retic/afrock cross (kinda failed tho...babies all died...) burm/ball cross, a ball/blood cross, and even a woma/ball and a carpet/ball cross.

Currently, I have a 3+ year old male ball python (very healthy/good feeder; only went "off feed" during shedding phases!) and a dwarf retic female who is slightly older (the one in my avatar...that was her when she was 8 months old).

Question:

1) anybody tried ball/retic crosses?

2) how did you get the 2 diff. pythons get it on? I recall reading somewhere it has something to do with "scent transferring". Apart from the pythons featured above, I also have a 2 month old retic male and a 2 year old retic female. Do I temporarily swap the cages of the male retic and the ball so that the ball "smells" like a retic?

3) I know crossbreeding is a sensitive topic...so please be "gentle"...hehehe :D
