Not a combo - a species unto itself.

I can't wait to see them Ben! I love Angolans! I'd love to own one some day!

So it is not crossed with a ball python?


BTW, Angolans are by far one of my favorite snakes, make sure we get a ton of pictures!!

congrats on the clutch

It almost looks blue! How did you get the babies to be blue?

Looking forward to pictures when they're out!!

Are they hybrids or pure Angolans?

Well then you would call it a "Catumbella Angolan" wouldn't you? And it would be in the General Python Section. Until Ben says otherwise my vote is for "Hybrid" which isn't a bad thing, that little bugger looks HOT.

I think the one pic that looks like a BP nose posted under BP pictures is throwing folks off...

I think he was being tongue in cheek! :gj:

A lot of people think angolans are ball hybrids because their heads are very similar in appearance.

guys---I was just fooling around---It is a 100% pure angolan python--we hatched out 7--I was just wanted to see how many people would catch the catumbella reference--

That's because angolan heads are very similar in appearance to ball python heads.

See???? LOL

Thanks Ben! As I said earlier - one day I hope to own one of these magnificent animals!

we will have some for sale--I will take good care of you.

Congrats Ben on your first Angolans. I have known through Stacey that you have had a pair but now to have a chance to see them in the store is great. I trust your holding back some and maybe some are going to the store/Daytona show?

Ben - be sure to update this thread when the babies are out! Can't wait to see them!

I absolutely love angolans gotta have one.

Ah see I didn't catch that. I knew that they were their own thing but it isn't like hybrids don't exist. :P

and they are amazing! i wouldn't think it would be hard or bad to hybridize the two. since they are so closely related.

Hybrid snakes is a huge debate all of its own but there is a Hybrid Angolan Ball it was produced by Steve Rousiss and I believe that Kevin @ NERD has done it as well.

I saw his post, but I was confused because he called them 'catumbella ball' in the title of the thread:)
