Sweet hybrid hook up

[DavidG]

It is from Office Space. Great movie! I hate how the horse was viciously beat down, kinda like this thread was. I'll remain on my fence about hybrids for now.

Going back thru this thread and looking at your website Lance, the big issue here really is about record keeping, and being accurate, consistant, and up to date with your records.

For instance….on your website you are advertising this, “Ball Python X Carpet Python Project (Carballs)”
http://lancehybrids.webs.com/snakes.htm

…now from my understanding, this cross will result is ‘Carpalls,’ not ‘Carballs.’ This may not be an issue to you, but I see this causing some confusion down the road to those who are not familiar with this cross. I could easily see your animals being sold by another individual down the road as ‘Car Balls.’ And the name thing is possible…for example ‘Piebald’ and ‘Pied Ball’.

Just an example of how crosses can mud-up the gene pool.

Just do us a favor and be sure your records on these animals are accurate.

Good Luck.

I agree with this. Have you talked with Todd to see how he felt about your choice of name for your hybrid? Not only is it too close to the name Todd chose for his IJ x ball cross, it could get misconstrued just as Jerhart mentioned.
I actually think it is better to hold off on a name until you actually have living offspring.
You might actually think of contacting Argo about his car-bombs. They are a coastal x ball cross.

I've seen carpalls sell for $3,000. Seriously. THREE GRAND FOR A MUTT!

And thread starter, don't pride yourself on being the first. Hope you did some research to see if you have a market for these snakes before breeding them.

He isnn't the first to do a carpet cross but potentially the first for doing JCPs x Ball

I'm relatively sure I've seen someone selling them on kingsnake.com about 6 months ago. there was a diamond cross and jungle cross.

yeah i dont know what a good name would be, and i know that carpall and car bomb are used......like i said the name is still up in the air if these are going to be the 1st. jcp X ball. if its that big of a deal i will just leave it
"JCP X ball hybrid".....

if they are the 1st should the name of them be up to me???....but yeah i see how they are alil to close

That's awesome.

a carpet python ball python cross is known as a carpall. Just call them carpalls and people will clearly get the hint it's a cross.

Your two statements here clearly show your ignorance. While I am not a proponent of the hybrids or crosses, I do feel that a correct name be given and a full truthfullness of what is involved be given.
The carpall is an IJ x ball. The car-bomb is a coastal carpet x ball. A JCP x ball has not been done yet.

If you do not know enough about the subject at hand or that there are different species of carpets, please close your mouth and open your ears, you might learn something.
