Angolans?

I think they are gorgeous. I'm curious to know what a angolan x bp hybrid would look like. But I'm not really willing to try as we have enough mutts in the world. Does anyone have one? How are their temperments, how big do they get, etc. I like to keep my options open. :) post pics too please. :)

I believe Angolan x Ball Python hybrids are called "Angry Balls"

You can see a picture here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/goshzilla/5466952192/

And another on this list of Python hybridshttp://www.darksidereptiles.com/foru...p?topic=1192.0

There is Tread on Fauna when You can See I believe all hybrids done with ball pythons...

As of Angolan Pythons I agree those are awesome... but i dont have any experience with them. I know zina10 have nice female named Zina... I believe PM to her will be Your best bet i that case :gj::gj::gj:

That is true, zina10 does have a very good looking Angolan Python.

On the topic of hybrids:

I don't like hybrids between species that are as similar in looks as BPs and Angolans. It wouldn't have been hard to pass of a F1 angry ball as a new BP morph, or angolan morph for that matter.

I much prefer hybrid projects where the offspring have a distinct look all their own, such as the woma x ball, burm x ball, and carpet x gtp.

I really like angolans might get one next season as I fought off the urge to get one Saturday in Daytona. I don't know if I'd go for the hybrid or breed them I might just keep a female as a pet.

From what I've heard they are really close to bps just get a little bigger.

I'm not hybrid fan at all from reason you stated ... but... Wall (woma ball)is outstanding looking snake..:gj:

As Angolan goes.. I love see more of them on the market and Price go down... Sorry but in my financial situation I cant afford spend 1000-1500$ for a snake :(

I found a male angolan for a lot less than that...?

Angolans are a great snake and east to work with. and as the others stated/linked there is ball x angolans out there.

Their price has gone down significantly I saw them in Daytona for $500.

That's about what I saw. I would get one just for angola x angola.

i did a little bit of research on 'em & what i read was the angolans are a cousin of the balls & come from about the same origin as balls...to me they just look like a totally awesome bp - same head shape, face stripe, body so i just dont see enough of a difference, really, but yeah i can see how it'd be soooo easy to pass one of them off as a cool new bp morph, theres no way to really tell the difference.

I would kill to get a blood python or Angolan python to mix with some bps, and I think angolans are pure awesomely sexy snakes just because they are like bps but bigger :)

Yeah angolans look almost identical to a bp. I love the fact that they can reach 7' though. :) I will need to get one soon. Id love to see if I could get an albino outta one. :)

From what I read they are not that shy like balls.. they are more curious... more aware of surroundings and not that picky eaters like balls...

Some day.... Some day....

I plan on purchasing one next year just want to wait til my current snakes produce some eegs for me before I add anything more.
