Jungle carpet python x Ball python hybrid...

not a pretty thing

Wow... that's one, um, interesting mix. I can't say I like the name, though. It sounds too much like Carpal as in CTS.

So what's next, a GTP x Ball? :rolleyes:

Sigh... why do people insist on making hybrids that there is no demand for? :(

Ehhh. I'll be sticking to normal BP's and my normal JCP. No hybrids for me.

I tend to agree... a JCP x Ball? Personally the only hybrid I've ever liked are Angolan Balls. But I would rather have the Angolan's and the Ball's separately, both are amazing for their own reasons.

Ya, Hybrids are a no in my book. Correct me if I'm wrong but hybrid's never occur in the wild. Morphs do. Stick to morphs. Plus as stated not many people are interested in actually owning a hybrid.

Every species of snake is a hybrid of some sort ;). However, it is POSSIBLE for a hybrid to occur in the wild, just as it's possible to have some designer morphs to occur in the wild.

i imagine a hybrid is more common that a designer morph in the wild.... ok, so what other ball hybrids are out there? the burmxball, superball, angolan ball, and the carpall? What's next GTball? a reticulatedball? an oliveball?

From what I'm gathering as I learn, there's no demand for these kind of snakes. They'll end up being disposed of or maybe going to somene who doesn't care so much. That's sad to play with "life" just becuase you are curious. To me, it screams a lack of valuing life and more about satisfying your own needs, AKA, selfish.

Am I wrong?

I dunno... if I got one of those for free or really cheaply, and the hybrid was healthy, I'd still take care of it, love it, and play with it. But if the breeder already knew that the hybrid wouldn't be in demand and continues to charge a lot of money for one, then that's just selfish.

Damn, guess I am the lone wolf.
I like it and would buy one.

As far as it being sad because there is no demand how do you or we know that?? I am sure there wasn't a demand for some morphs before they were morphed or any other thing when it is new.

Same as for breeds of dogs or other animals. Many breeds we have today where the results of a hybrid.

Hybrids would occur much more often in the wild than a morph I would think.

I would think most morphs were created to satisfy our own needs. Why else were they created?

I don't like most hybrids. Mostly because they look like muts. However I LOVE the superballs, especially the f2 generations. I would be very interested in a whitelippedxGTP cross. and then maybe cross the lippedtreepython to a superball and maybe have something unbelievably cool.

I feel that hybrids are no less moral then morphs. Atleast hybrids have a chance at survival in the wild. What do you think the chances of a BEL or a Pied to be successful in the wild? The only thing I have against the hybrid crosses is when they are not well documented and when they do not find suitable homes in the event the cross makes a less pleasant animal to the eye than the snakes from which they are based.
