Fun hybrid question

Don't respond to this just to hate on hybrids. I don't care if you don't like them. I like them. But anyway, this has been confusing me for a few days. Ok, lets start.

So you breed a woma and ball python (I won't be doing this. Just wondering). It's 50% ball and 50% woma right? So then you breed it to a woma again. So then it's 75% woma and 25% ball right? But THEN, what if you breed it back to a ball? What is it? Then with that snake, what if you bread it to a half woma half ball again?

A 75/25 bred back to a ball would give you a 37.5/62.5

And breeding that back to a 50/50 would give you a 43.75/56.25

Attempting to breed a ball python to a woma would likely end in 1 less ball python and one happy woma. Aside from that the above is correct.

wait, what? I've never heard of this. Would it be genetically possible excluding the fact that the woma might eat the BP?

I am not an expert in hybrids but I would guess womas and ball pythons are too different. I believe this question was entirely hypothetical.

Okay, thanks. I assumed this wasn't really a thing, but I was just making sure.

Well considering woma/balls already exist, it seems some people made it happen without issue. here a thread with a picture of one https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...n-hybrid-cross

from what ive been told, any python theoretically should be able to breed with any python and any boa theoretically should be able to breed with any boa. However I doubt we will see any sand boa anaconda hybrids any time soon and it might be a challenge getting a ball and a gtp to breed. So physical limitation can still apply.

That things funky lol. I guess if there is a will, then there is a way.

There you go, I stand corrected.

They're called "walls" (woma+ball) and aren't too common but are out there, $600-$1000 range last I heard.
