Blood Balls???

There actually not a cross between bloods and balls. Short tail and Ball. From what I understand they are the only ones that will cross. Im not sure which locality though, either the borneo short tail or sumatran short tail aka "black blood"

Its a borneo and a ball python. Breitensteini (sp?), Russis has it in that post of the Superball.

I love the way they look. Haven't had the chance to see one in person yet, but they look sweet in the pics. Haven't seen anyone selling them or advertising for them...wonder what they are being sold for F1 and F2???

got this '06 super ball from Jon last week. He's one moody dude. Since he's here he's tagged(is it a correct word)3-4 people , not me though lol

love that pic...Smoking ball you have there. What are your plans with him hgrub???

[hgrub]

funny you said that. I stumbled across Jon's Next World Exotic's advertise for this guy on kingsnake no more than 2 weeks ago. It's the last snake for my shipment...last minute shopping.

A year ago I had a chance to get one superball directly from Steve Roussis, but got some problem with import permit so I missed that chance.

Actually this one I import for my customer but the deall fell through, I might keep him. Need to get a snake hook first lol

Thanks for the info hgrub...guess I need to keep a better eye out to the classifieds.

what did you pay for the super ball?

so blood ball's are also know as superballs? Is that the name given to the hybrid?

I have a local shop by me that has one blood python and i was thinking about picking it up and seeing if I could produce a hybrid? Good Idea? bad Idea?

Bad idea. Bloods are waaaay different than BP's in personality, activity and lifestyle. If you jump into purchasing a Borneo, go with a responsible and reputable breeder over a pet store! The animal will be better off coming from a good breeder than a pet store purchase. Hands down.

If you want to get your feet wet with a borneo, buy one, but it takes more experience for breeding these two completely different pythons. They are from COMPLETE opposites of the world, and getting to know each species on a personal level will help with a successful breeding farther down the road.

I just don't like the idea of "Imma buy this snake to breed it to that one and see what I get" Build your experience before you attempt anything more. Just my .02 cents.
