    I have a question .... can a retic and a ball be cross bred to get a larger ball python?

    I'm not sure retic x ball has been done, but some other hybrids have been. I believe there have been burm x ball, woma x ball, and blood x ball.

    Re: morphs????
    and what would you get with those kind of hybrids?
    burm x ball =?
    woma x ball = ?
    blood x ball = ?

    and burms are huge so why would not a person be able to cross retics and balls?

    well.. i believe borneo short tail crossed with a ball comes close enough to "blood x ball", it's called the "superball".

    burm x ball has been done, and is just called the burm ball I believe.

    the woma x ball has been done, and is called a "wall".

    To answer your question relating a burm ball to a retic ball, well I don't know anyone who has attempted it before(though it wouldn't surprise me if at least one person has tried), certainly no one has come forward saying that they have been successful.

    Why breed a retic to a ball when you can breed it to a burm and get this:

    Love how they look but can't really deal with a large aggressive snake atm ;)

    Why thank you so very much for informing me... I just thought that since I am asking for a friend and I have been a follower of this site for a minute that other BP breeders may be able to answer me with out blowing me off to another site......:colbert:

    and for the other guy with the burmball..... it is a beauty...... I am asking about hybrids for a friend. I am more interested in pieds or blue eyes....hint hint to any one....;)

    We have more
    angolan x ball - angolan ball
    Angolan ball x ball - angry ball
    Hmm I don't know what else
    Any way I don't like hybrids
    For me they are polution in genetic pull

    NOt trying to blow you off to another site. There arent alot of hybrid friendly ppl on this forum and I am sick and tired of the bickering on the topic so I figured I would give you a few resources which I did in the PM I sent you.
