Re: Locks with some big girls...
Oh my, after I saw that second picture I dove for cover!
Sweet lock ups and those are some big boys you have! I don't really know what the uproar is about this pairing in particular :confused: I'm not even sure I understand the debate about hybrids in general. If you don't like them, don't get one. That seems to make sense to me. I don't want a dangerous snake so I don't own a cobra or a retic (dangerous for small children, idiots, and pets), simple as that.
Balls aren't dangerous, they aren't going to make another snake anymore dangerous than it already is so I don't really see the connection between banning balls because of hybrids. Dogs (shepards and huskies specifically) haven't been banned because of wolf hybrids, and somehow wolf hybrids haven't been banned yet either. At least not across the entire US. There are still people breeding them in my hometown.
Re: Locks with some big girls...
You want unnatural hybrid... Some people came into work the other day with a shih tzu x chocolate lab. Think about that. Shih Tzu. Chocolate Lab. Couldn't make that pairing up.
Re: Locks with some big girls...
Gorgeous snakes! Best of luck with both pairings, blood balls are pretty cool looking :gj:
Re: Locks with some big girls...
I really don't understand why hybrids are so controversial... Bloods aren't banned, and balls aren't banned, so why would hybridization between the two put either one in danger of being banned? I'm not even sure if that's the real issue behind all the fuss. And the argument that hybrids are unhealthy and therefore shouldn't be brought into existence strikes me as a bit odd, since not many people seem to be against breeding caramel albinos, super black pastels or spiders, even though they all have a tendency to be badly deformed or have crippling neurological problems. I think superballs and wall pythons look really cool. Good luck with the clutch! :-)
Re: Locks with some big girls...
If people can interbreed, say for example, different races, why not snakes?
Or does this argument not sit well with people?

It's not really the same thing. Different races of people are more like different morphs of ball pythons, while bloods and balls are kind of like lions and tigers, or a human and a bonobo monkey. I agree with what you're saying though. I see no harm in a bloodxball cross either :P
