By mixing I was more referring to phenotypical expression, for example a split faced cat or an animal that appears to be a ball with blood genitalia. Often a hybrid takes cues from one parent over the other. As we see in snakes you can actually get offspring that resemble each parent, which is why I went with the chimera theory. Thinking about this more though, you would not even need chimerism for this to happen as it simply could be a case of which phenotype is shown. A hybrid is not always a perfect mix of both animals but may take traits from either. Also we are assuming that snake hybrids are diploid when the fact that they are not generally sterile could point to polyploidy even further making this a possible situation. If this were the case then the possibility that a chimera that is genetically separate part ball and part blood actually do exist, although I will admit the probability is incredibly low.
I am fimilar with the case. All of her DNA is part mommy part daddy. It's not just the dad or just the mom. It is mixed. She just has different mixes of DNA in different areas. No different than me and my brother having different mixes of our mommy and daddy. Except those mixes are in one body. Chimeras are combined would be siblings, DNA works the same, just might be different in one area of the body vs another.

Yes one animals traits can dominant over another. I notice it seems any ball hybrid has a ball head. However the pattern and body makes it obvious to what it was mixed with. There have been quite a few blood balls aka superball. None I've seen could be mistaken for just a ball.

So even in polypoid situation, which btw is a huge leap imo, the resulting chimera would still have 2 separate DNA that are both the mix of mommy and daddy.
