Is this for real?

The BurmBall Burmese x Ball python Hybrid

YouTube - The BurmBall Burmese x Ball python Hybrid

On a side note, How many pythons have been mixed with Balls? I know of the Super-ball but thats the only one i have heared of.

Yes this is unfortunately real... lots of pythons have been hybridized and its not such a good thing

Bloods also... I wonder what good actually comes out of this hybrid stuff... or is it equal to mut dogs... looks nice prolly give you allot of eggs... if you have a female with what about 17 eggs... Thats good but seriously whats the deal with there temperment.

I think the hybrids are sweet. Im looking for a female Blood to mix with one of my male Albino balls. Eventually ill have some albino blood balls.

Some like hybrids, some don't.

It's not equivalent to mutt dogs. A boxer-lab cross is still a dog. Mixing a ball with a burm(or blood, or carpet) is mixing species, not breeds.

Heh,

I think that's the first video of it it hasn't tried to eat the cameraman. :giggle:

On a side not does anyone know what the song was playing over it?

The genetics with a superball would not allow for a visual BP morph to be made. Atleast thats the theory. You can try but I Wouldnt expect much.

Well with the way everythings going lately hybrids may be the only snakes that are still legal because they are not a recorded species and never will be so they would never be on an injurious species list lol. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I agree would should not be able to produce an albino morph with the hybrids. Balls have been crossed with Carpet pythons(Carpalls), Blood pythons, burmese pythons, and Angolian pythons.

i thought the balls had been crossed bornoes, not bloods.

i think mark o'shea said it best when it comes to hybrids, it's all about money.

So if i bred an albino male Ball to a normal femal blood the hatchlings wont come out as het for albino?

The plan was to breed a male albno ball to a female normal blood then breed the female babies back to a male albino from a different bloodline.

Actually, it probably could. Some years ago, if memory serves me right, T&W International produced a Pastel Ball x Angolan.

I don't like hybrids, Really don't feel snake hybrids are the same as dogs. Don't think there are many snake hybrids in the wild. While a dog will breed with just about any other dog in the neighborhood.

Have heared about Yellow/green conda hybrids in the wild doh. But thats about it.

On a side note it would be kinda funn to see a 25 feet burm with the natural respons to fear a ball has. Going "Boo" and see it make the biggest ball ever! :D

LOL! Make getting them into the cage after cleaning easier! Just have a ramp and roll them up it!

OMG I want one.

I would actually take this over a Pied BP.

Actually, anywhere that ranges overlap with species that are genetically compatible, you can find hybrids in the wild. They snakes don't care. It's just that you would never find a burm-ball or similar hybrid because, of course, they would never find each other in the wild.

I've always found it interesting how we have crossed such different species together..

Ball pythons and burms are in the same genus, I could see that happening.

However, the ball x woma, the ball x carpet?? I don't know which sounds more improbable to me for genetic compatibility.

This is very true. In my wild animals in captivity class last semester we discussed it. Of course the % of these hybrids to each natural species isn't that large, but it happens completely on its own. Hence grolar bears (polar bear x grizzly) and the fact that much of the giraffe population is hybridized.

Seriously though, do these ball/burmese pythons get the same size as a burmese? Or are they like smaller?

i really like the angolian cross but thats just me to each their own:gj:
