Yes, the Ball X Blood and Ball X Woma have been produced. There may be more that I am unaware of...

Re: Hybrids?
I currenty am raising a Blood python (Female) and a Ball python normal (Male). Hopefully... with LOTS of luck I will be producing some SUPER balls within a couple years (2-3).

Unfortuneatly that isn't it. There was also Ball x Angolans produced, and several attempts at Ball x Burm (don't think anything came of those).

I've heard the ball x blood wouldn't count because the guy didn't actually breed them, he artificially inseminated them. So I don't think a blood and ball would actually breed together naturally.

I'd only say it doesn't "count" if insemination didn't actually occur - almost all of the chicken available in your supermarket was created via artificial insemination and it still counts. So if the sperm still fertilized the egg and it resulted in a clutch and hatched, healthy snakes, I don't see it as a huge problem that the two snakes won't breed with each other.
Kara is making some crazy ball/woma crosses, and I find them really beautiful. As long as we have healthy lines of snakes, rock on.
