Hybrid Breeding?

So I have just recently learned a tonne on Hybrid Breeding EX: GTP to JCP but I have heard alot of the time the female becomes egg bound because there 2 different speices. Now is there anything about breeding like a burm to a retic? I know that you can't breed something like a retic to a ball python but something that grows about the same length width etc. Is this safe to do? I have seen it be done but not sure if it is a safe idea. No I do not plan on doing anything like this, I plan on staying on the right track and doing red tail boa to red tail boa or ball python to ball python. Just wondering if it's worth doing. I know that big breeders like Ralph Davis and BHB don't do it.

You'd be surprised what can be bred together. The ball python x burmese python hybrid was successful.

And to answer one of your questions, yes the burm x retic hybrid has been done.

i have heard of the retic to burm and its called a borneo bateater i believe

I don't think anyone's tried, though I don't see why you would, they're 2 very very different species.

i just saw the burmball for the first time WOW thats crazy

Hybrids from two very different snake species, IMO at least, make the most interesting looking hybids, and are least likely to be mistaken as anything other than a hybrid (which is a good thing).

Ball python x carpet python has been done. Carpet python x GTP has been done. I'm pretty sure that if you could get them to mate, ball python x GTP would stand a chance at producing living offspring.

my most favorite was a Superball python which is a ball X blood but generally i am against hybrids the burmball looks pretty good too

Not another Hybrid thread.....:tears:

Hybrids are bad, mmmkkay

Im pretty sure that BHB has done it, it was in one of his videos.

i think thats a matter of opinion - i think hybrids are pretty cool, you can get the coolest features of each animal- and for just pet purposes that could be an awesome animal :D

but thats just my opinion

Entirely just my opinion, of course.

I've seen threads go way out of line when dealing with Hybrids therefore the tears.

I love the idea of hybrids. If the offspring come out healthy, cool. If not, it's obviously not a cross that'll work.

He's got a superball (blood x ball hybrid), but I don't think he produced it himself.

I like the Idea of Hybrids too..

but it should stop at CARS.

Mucking up the already mucked up bloodline, makes it much much harder to find "pure" animals.

Just becuase you CAN, doesnt mean you should.

I like bears, and cats....

Should I breed a bear and a cat together just for "Pets" purposes....please.

Lamest reason ever!

Preach!!

Well, considering that bears (family: Ursidae) and cats (family: Felidae) are in two completely different families, you wouldn't get anything even if you tried. Except for may two animals who liked each other/one became dinner/dead.

We've been over the pros and cons of hybridization and everyone has their opinion. This thread was created by the OP to just find out some information simply because he was curious. We don't need to start another argument about hybrids, that's not the point of this thread.

No it seems the point of this thread is to breed stuff together just to breed different species.:confused:

It could have easily been a hypothetical question.

Well Thats real cool I never knew there were so many different hybrids. And for the people that disagree you have your reasons but I don't think if you were to try to produce a hybrid there would be a high chance of something to go wrong. Ex: Egg bound etc.

You DONT think that?

Do you even know what you are spewing?


There are more things that can go wrong that just being egg bound.

like man are you guys serious. Many animals now are hybrids and are kept as well know'n pets, please! You dont like it den dont talk about it. Simple!

One that comes to mind is the mule. Other than being sterile (although, there are rare occurrences of them being fertile), no issues.

Uhm..Pits aren't hybrids. It's a breed of dog. Hybrids are animals that wouldn't normally breed, lions and tigers, for example. In many cases, the two animals have a different number of chromosomes which is why the offspring is usually sterile.

ummm they are considered hybrids here. I wonder what you consider a wolf. ahahaha what do you consider a ferret. hybrid consists of crosses between populations, breeds or cultivars within a single species.

grey wolves, domesticated dogs, and any breedings within anything that fits either description is no hybrid.. except I guess you could argue dogs bred with grey wolves are technically hybrids of two SUB-species..

hy⋅brid
  /ˈhaɪbrɪd/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [hahy-brid] Show IPA
Use hybrid in a Sentence
–noun
1. the offspring of two animals or plants of different breeds, varieties, species, or genera, esp. as produced through human manipulation for specific genetic characteristics.

A wolf is a wolf. They're not hybrids..And ferrets are a domesticated version of some form of polecat. Similar to how dogs are the domesticated form of wolves.

Hybrid breeding can be really difficult. They're usually small subcompacts and the back seats are so cramped you can really get a crick in your neck.

Where does hybrid talk about domestication?
If a ferret and a dog are domesticated species, that means they are still the same species that they were originally before domestication.

Wolves and Dogs are the same species, C. lupus, the domestication turns the dogs into subspecies of C. lupus called C. l. familiaris.
Hybridization can only occur between two different species. Dogs do not count and I'm not understanding your point with domesticated ferrets..

Perhaps you should read back a few posts to the guy who's trying to say that pit bulls are hybrids.

Sorry, somehow the posts all got jumbled up in my brain.
Either way, I wasn't trying to prove anything against you, rather him.

This is the probably the most ignorant thing I've read today. Way to go American education system!
