Hybrid project

Great project spooky! I actually thought this was the road you were going when you said its a recessive gene. :)

Looks like a sweet project bud, good luck to many healthy baby superballs! :gj:

I will definitely be watching this. Keep us updated for sure. Blood balls have been made before but not too many people have added in the ball morphs so this will be an interesting project. :D

so here is my plan.. im wanting to introduce a recessive gene into the hybrid. if sucessful this first breeding atempt, i will hold back everything. once the hatchlings (F1) reach adulthood, i will breed them to each other hopefuly producing a visual F2.
the first pairing i did, the female blood showed no intrest, sence then, i have talked to a blood python breeder and they gave me some tips on blood breeding, so hopefuly this time ill be more sucessful.
i started this thread for those of us that are interseted in "superball" hybrids, or just hybrids in general.
after seeing past hybrid threads, i can truly say that i (persionaly) will not comment on any negative, or off topic feedback because i dont want it turning into that kind of thread. if you want to participate in that kind of thread, im sure there are some to be found.:colbert:
sooooooooo,,, heres what im doing!

Honestly, if you do not want a hybrid thread turning into a negative thread, you should not post a thread about hybrids. Every hybrid thread I have ever read has turned into a negative thread, and for good reason.

its been about 4 days sence i paired these guys up, and as far as i can tell, there has been no action.
i have read, and talked to people about temps and light cycles for blood pythons, and have got diferent opinions on both, so i decided to start with the light cycles. about 2 weeks ago i started cycling my lighting to 6 hours of light. in a few days, ill be taking this guy (BP) out and puting in another male pied for about a week,, then, if i see no action, ill lower the temps as well as runing the 6 hour light cycle and start the pairing sequence over again. both of my male pieds have locked with other females this season, so i know that there more than willing to participate:D,, but now, its just trying to convience the gal.
ill keep ya posted!

100% Correct. I truly agree.

Conditioning a female blood for breeding is a year long process. It really never ends. Throwing new stimuli at her now after her not being conditioned will probably not do it for her. I'm not lookin to stir the pot but an all of a sudden photoperiod change and a temp drop just won't do it. Especially if you want this girl to be receptive to something that is not a blood python, she's gotta be REALLY in the mood. You know I'm not a fan of the project but I still would never hand out bad husbandry tips.

thanks for the reply. and your not stirring the pot. iv never bred bloods, but iv had one for a little more than 5 years, and the other for maby 3. im completly open to learning anything that i can about breeding them. if it doesent work out for me this year, ill take your advice and start conditioning as of now for next year. iv bread BP's, and as you probabaly know,, theres not a whole lot to it, so this is all new to me. we all gotta start somewhere.
i apriciate your post. even though your not a fan of the idea, your still humble enough to share your advice.
thanks again

If you don't like hybrids, don't enter the thread. Simple as that.

Maybe she needs some candlelight and some nice music to get her in the mood. :D Actually I know nothing about breeding bloods, but I really hope she becomes receptive. Can you imagine what the pied gene will look like in a hybrid like that? :banana:

Why would someone not like hybrids? Personally i think it would be really cool, not even just in snakes but in any species. As long as the person doing it was responsible and kept records of all of the breedings to actually make it legitimate then i dont see why someone would have a problem with it? If someone could tell me why, without ripping my head off lol, would appreciate it :)
