Bloods and Burms
I've seen crosses of bloods and balls, balls and angolans, burms and retics, carpets and greens... has anyone ever attempted a blood and a burm? Maybe this is a question only Kira can answer, but I'm open to anyone with a web address of pictures.

Re: Bloods and Burms
I honestly don't think it would be a good cross in any way shape or form.
That said I don't recall ever hearing of it being attempted but ya never know.

Re: Bloods and Burms
What is your reasoning for that? Hybrids can be very beautiful. As long as hybrids are sold as such and not as pure bred animals, I don't see how it harms anything. The coastal plains milk snake is a naturally occuring hybrid between the scarlet kingsnake and a milk snake species whose name escapes me now.. and that is not the only case of hybrids occuring naturally in the wild. It is known in parrots as well.

Re: Bloods and Burms
i would like to know the reasoning for that also. some hybrids im not to particularly fond of like yellow x red ackies but only because they are so hard to differentiate and they are no longer able to be imported out of australia and i wouldnt want any "dirty" blood lines of them. but others which can easily be told apart and which pure animals can be imported im fine with.

Re: Bloods and Burms
Yeah that's a good point Marshall. Some hybrids are just plain not attractive too. If they don't improve on the look of either parent species, what's the point?
But.. one hybrid I find particularly lovely is the yellowXgreen anaconda.. can you say lime green?

Re: Bloods and Burms
Natural accuring hybrids are one thng because they happen naturally and don't involve someone else playing "god". Snakes have been around for a long time and have develped many adaptations over the generations which plays a big part in why they are still around today. The snakes and reptiles in general have overcome many hard times in the past to still be around today. In creating hybrids you are making the snakes go through all those adaptations again such as in some snakes 2nd lung, heat pits, ect. Snakes of any kind are beautiful enough and they dont need to be bred with snakes from different areas to prove that. Wonder why some hybrids don't produce eggs? Because they have adapted to breed and connect with their own species is my educated guess.
I know someone will bring up intergrades of some sort and I don't think they should be brought into the hybrid topic at all.
I have a feeling I will get flamed for this post
