Im buying a number of snakes in the next few weeks. Most are ball pythons but ive had my eye on a couple others as well. I fear if i dont leave my money at home come Oct, i'll be bringing even more snakes home too!

Here is where i want honest opinions. Especially from the breeders & veterans. I know there is very mixed opinions on the hybrid thing. One of the snakes ive always wanted & am currently looking at is a striped borneo short tailed python. If i got this snake i know id be so tempted to breed it to a ball and make "superballs". If i did this, yes they would be documented as such & microchipped. But im still half&half on that idea myself.

The other snake im looking at is a sexed pair of true super dwarf reticulated pythons. Retics have been my favorite snake most of my life but the size prevented me from buying. Well now that they come in a much more convenient size i really want a pair..

Cant get both tho. Its either one striped borneo. Or 2 super dwarf retic's.

If i got the retics, id probably eventually breed them.

What is your opinion on breeding for "superballs" and what is your opinion on the dwarf retics? As it stands, superballs are going for much more money but the stipulations on paperwork, microchip, and the fact that half the people are against it anyway is what makes me think twice.

I know that so far the true dwarves of the retic world dont come in morphs and when crossed with another morph or regular retic you get a snake that maxes out in size somewhere between the super dwarf and a normal retic, still making it a very large snake. So i would keep their blood lines pure even tho they are not as colorful.

Thanks for any input and opinions
