What do you think of hybrid snakes?

The guy at Petco said he wants to breed his ball with a blood. I didn't say anything.

Oh hey I found a site where a guy has done it.

Kinda odd looking snake.

wow that bloodball is sick looking!! :O

as far as hybrids go, i dont really mind! a lot of the hybrids look kinda kewl! :gj:

"It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature..."

Neat, but I wouldn't do it.

However I want a Green/Yellow mixed, but I want the temperment of my yellow, the size of my yellow, but the color/pattern of a green.

Edit:
I'm talking about anacondas btw.

Thats just off the first few pages....there is about 1000 more.

I didn't want to bump an old topic and wanted to regale everyone with a tale of my experience at petco. :(

Well in that case I'll give you my thoughts on hybrids. They don't bother me at all if it's something that can't be sold as pure down the road. Nobody will confuse bloodxball with a normal blood or bp. Some of the morelia crosses are tough to call and that I'm not as fond of. Many of them are gorgeous snakes so I would possibly own one, but I wouldn't breed em.

Man that blood ball looks tight...i also like the way the bermese ball hybrid looks...im for it....

I don't know if you could breed the two, you might need to do artificial insemination to get it.

lol yes you breed them, but imagine what would happen with artificial insemination

Nothing wrong with it as long as they are sold as hybrids.

Love the hybrid tree boas (emerald x amazon)

I'm planning on some cool ratsnake crosses eventually, although next year I should have some nice pure corns hatching if breeding goes as planned :)

Don't bother me, I own a few myself. 1 Jungle Corn (cal. king x corn snake), 1 creamsicle (corn snake x emory rat snake), and 1 black rat intergrade(yellow x black x grey). I plan on breeding the rat snake to my jungle in the furture hopefully. I've seen pictures of the babies from this cross and they look awesome! Agreed though, you have to be responsible with them.

My dream is to own and breed super balls ( bloodxball). I came across them recentley and wow, fell in love with them. Definitley the pinnacle of my breeding goals.

I have nothing against hybrids, although I don't plan on breeding any. The only hybrid I saw that I'd really want would be the burmXball! It's crazy looking!

As long as someone is straight up about breeding hybrids and selling them as what they are, I have no problem with them. I think it would be great to microchip them as well.

I think hybrids are incredible. Un-natural but incredible.

I dont have a problem with them as long as they are sold as hybrids. I like bateaters and cateaters and jungle retics. I dont really like when people breed burms to indians though becuase it can sometimes get tough to tell there. And ive seen people try to sell burm/indians as pure indians.

I`m a HUGE Fan of Hybrid Colubrids! Its interesting to see how all these genes interact when crossed into other species i.e. Amel Corns and Albino Kings.
