Bloods bred with balls?

I've seen these so called super balls online?
Bloods bred with ball pythons. THey are actually pretty crazy to look at.
Haven't seen on in person but I imagine it would be pretty amazing to see.
How much do these things go for? and is there a difference in they're adult size?
Any answer backs would be appreciated. Please don't take offence to this thread. I'm not trying to promote the breeding I'm just curiouse as to find out a lil' more info on them.

I saw a pair of F1 Super Balls at the daytona show and they are pretty darn good looking. As for size I have no Idea. If only I could remember how much they were for sale for... sorry it seems to have slipped my mind.

Are the offspring sterile? like a mule??

F1 and F2

Breed them together and you get the ctrl-alt-delete ball or AKA the soft boot ball.. LOL

I can't recall exactly, but the asking price was at least $2k last year. That may have been just Blood ball cross, not the super balls.

Same thing. Super Ball was just some name they tacked on to bloodxball hybrids.

Personally I think they are gorgeous! I believe the price I seen was around 2-3K. I believe its worth every penny though:D

I know hybridization is sometimes frowned upon, but I was sitting here thinking about all the Ball morphs and how sweet breeding something like a Pastel or Ghost Ball to a Blood would look.

I vote for "Killer Bloods" I'm not sure how this would be accomplished though. Killer Bee X Blood Ball.

I was referring to (F1) blood x ball, not bloodball cross x with bloodball cross (F2).

Whatever, the terminology is a bit confusing both have been used.

I would seriously love to see the outcome of something like this.. imagine breeding a pied BP to a blood!
People will say it's unnnatural; but how natural is it for us to keep snakes as pets in-home in boxes anyway? :)

A guy in my town bought two superballs from Roussis. He already has the male in its care, and the thing is truly unreal looking, the female is on its way so I'll have to see that when it arrives as well.

He's been discussing his future breedings with me, and he told me he plans to breed the superball male to his female Malaysian blood, and also to the female superball this fall. I'm not sure if he knows what he's in for, I believe it took Roussis 4 years to produce any viable young from his blood X ball python breeding...but I definitely wish him the best of luck. It'd be a sweet tinkering project.
