    about getting blood balls

    I was recently checking out blood balls on a site...cool snake...not that i am interested in producing hybrids or anything (not my cup of tea), but I was just curious as how you get a blood and a ball to copulate.......I asked a friend of mine who's bred everything (including venomous) you can imagine........BUT balls. He suggested that they might have been using the old "bait and switch" method. Don't the two species just "know", though...???

    Re: about getting blood balls

    I was wondering the same thing.. hopefully someone can chime in here. I think the 'superballs' are quite lovely. Hm.. I DO have that odd male BP laying around..

    Re: about getting blood balls

    LOL...no...not me. I see no point in mucking up perfectly good blood pythons! This is one hybrid that absolutely does not do it for me.

    Re: about getting blood balls

    Hey, I'm not interested at all in producing hybrids, in fact I don't even own a blood, I was just wonderin' how they got it done.....

    Re: about getting blood balls

    I do prefer bloods, but I think the hybrid is interesting and pretty. Most hybrids do nothing for me.. carpondros are pretty nice though.

    Re: about getting blood balls

    i think hybrids are pretty cool. my favorite would have to be the Angolan x Ball hybrid.

    April, do you have a link to a carpondro? i've never heard of them.

    Marshall.. here's one for sale on fauna. I couldn't find a page on them.

    Obviously it's a carpet python x green tree python.
