IJ Carpet Python X Ball Python!

I am the one that bred that snake. I didn't post to alot of places do to anti-hybrid thinking. I am being honest as to what they are. If you don't like them that is your choice.

I think that snake is awsome looking. As far as hybirds go so like them some dont, look at the F2 Superball, I think certin ones are amazing animals.

Im with you. I think its so sad, I dont think mutations are a beautiful thing in life. poor animals , thats like mixing a panther with a tiger.

Or maybe a Liger? How about a Mule? Maybe a Guineafowl? Perhaps a Cama, Wolphin, Savannah cat, or Zorse?

Personally that's not my favorite cross, but to call it a "poor animal" is relatively silly. Do you realize some of the dog breeds millions of people buy every year have extraordinary health problems? For those that have such "issues" with hybriding, do you feel the same about the more common hybrids? Like the Mule or Hinny?

Why is it that creating morphs for financial reasons more acceptable than hybrids? I realize ethical standards are fairly subjective, but that's just absurd. Persoanlly, I consider making dog breeds that can't breathe through their noses a great deal more unethical than crossing snakes that thrive. And I'm willing to bet, a few of the folks who take "ethical" stances against snake hybrids, own a few of those dogs.

I agree most dog species were/are man made. I dont hear anyone complaining everytime they pick up their little rat looking dog. Its a matter of opinion but before you judge one form of genetic alteration due to select breeding look at them all. Im not sayin i would ever cross breed anything but dont be so quick to judge. And IMO it is a nice looking snake. Remember that every dog species came from the wolf. And I mean every.

I even got two sets of twins.

That's very interesting. I wonder if it was just an anomaly of if it had something to do with being hybrids?

BTW, I was wondering if you could provide some other details. What was the size of the clutch? Did you use a male or female Ball or Carpet?

[smilin-buddha]

I Female Irian to a normal male ball python. He had a cool pattern which I thought would match up well. Started with 23 eggs. Some were proven non-viable and were discarded. The remaining eggs were put into the incubator. I ended up having 7 going full term. I cut the eggs on Day 52. That is when I noticed the two sets of twins . So in the end I had 9 lost one to hardedned yolk in the stomach.

I will post some pictures when I get home if you want to see them. I have multiple pictures of the parents as well as the hatchlings.
