    Super ball

    So I just left repticon and was some super balls, ball x blood. They were talking about breeding them. ?? Thought the cross was infertile.

    1.0 Cinny het Albino
    0.1 Albino
    0.3 Pastel
    0.1 BEL (Lesser x Mojave)

    No they're fertile

    But they're a MUTT

    Won't find any love from Blood/Short Tail enthusiasts on hybrids

    Ditto on what 2kdime said. I'm fine with the concept of hybrids, but there are plenty of crosses I don't like. I haven't seen a blood or short tail hybrid that I like, they turn out ugly and can look too much like either parent species, ESPECIALLY when people cross bloods and STPs.

    Not a fan either but wanted to clear it up. They looked like a ball with more washed out alien heads.

    Just goes to show that there is a sucker born every minute, and they love company. I haven't seen a hybrid that I'd give a plugged nickel for.

    No one ever said they were infertile.. The original super balls (Borneo x Ball) were being bred back to balls and creating more that were 75% ball and so on.. This was a few years ago at least.

    I don't particularly like them but that is just my opinion.

    What is bigger than that though is that animals like this hurt us as a herp community. We all know all too well how the uneducated and ignorant are always trying to bring down our hobby for various BS reasons... When we do things like this it gives them a whole lot more ammunition... If it is wright or wrong doesn't matter much in the end.

    I hope the more reputable shows would consider banning such animals from their tables in the future...
