what if u mated an albino burmese and a het for pied?

i'm trying to figure this morph breeding out, so what would happen if i bred an albino burmese with a piebald?? maybe a dumb question, but oh well

You want to cross a ball python and a burmese python?

yup lol

WHAT????:confused::eek:

WOW.

-adam

wellllll............... is it possible??

I guess it's possible, but why? :rolleyes:

SEARCH functions quite well. Use it.

(I am feeling kind of green and under the bridge lately . . . . scuse me)

First off, that would not be a morph, that would be a hybrid. A morph is an unusual genetic make-up within a single species. A hybrid is a mix of two different species. While there IS some hybridization of ball pythons being experimented with, they are NOT with a burmese. The two are not even close to being compatible.


Now, if you're really interested in ball python morphs, we can direct you to websites that will give you some excellent information on the subject. If you're really interested in hybrids, we can offer some links in that direction as well.

That's actually not true.

Adam, I'm gonna start getting a complex! :P

I wouldn't doubt that someone has tried to accomplish that...but I haven't found any evidence of any successful breedings. Do you have information about a successful cross?

what i'm trying to figure out is if u could get a burmese size piebald...

The reason we have a piebald ball python is because the actual genetic mutation for it was found in a snake and reproduced. I don't know the actual story of the first pied (although it probably wouldn't be too hard to find) but it was probably a wild-caught or farm-hatched import from Africa. Or maybe one was bred into someone's collection because they happened to have two hets (snakes that carry one copy of the gene but don't show the trait itself) and they found a huge surprise in the incubator one day.

Regardless, the gene for the mutation already existed somewhere in the ball python world. It was found and then reproduced through selective breeding.

The only way to get a pied-burmese would be for that genetic mutation to already exist somewhere in the wild burmese world. (And then to be discovered!) It's not something that someone thought would be "cool" so they "created" the pied snake.

I love the intrigue.......just leaves you wanting an explanation you know you're not going to get

true, true true....I guess I'm gonna have to be a LOT more diligent about editing myself and making sure I say exactly what I meant to say, rather than typing off the top of my head so much. I know our world is crazy enough that if someone can have an idea, no matter HOW nuts it is, SOMEone is gonna try it.

You took the word right out of my mouth! LOL

Since burms and BPs are both in the python genus, the possibility of viable offspring is quite high.

albino burm x het pied would result in normal looking hybrid offspring het for albino and poss het pied.

If you bred a burm x pied bp you would get het pied hybrids. If you bred two such hybrids, some would be pied, yes.

ok, so level with me, are my chances like one in a hundred, or more like one in a nillion? more like one in a million??? so youre sayin theres a chance? yayyyyyyyyyy!!! 100 pts. if u can tell me what movie thats from! lol

That line was from Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber

Are you actually going to try that!?

Just thought you were cause you said "yay"

And so is this thread. ;)

Yes, i think i may give it a tryif there would be a demand for such an animal but how come no one else has tried it? would no one want a pied balmese python?? oh and thanks for a definitive yes shelby:imslow:
