Going back thru this thread and looking at your website Lance, the big issue here really is about record keeping, and being accurate, consistant, and up to date with your records.

For instance….on your website you are advertising this, “Ball Python X Carpet Python Project (Carballs)”

…now from my understanding, this cross will result is ‘Carpalls,’ not ‘Carballs.’ This may not be an issue to you, but I see this causing some confusion down the road to those who are not familiar with this cross. I could easily see your animals being sold by another individual down the road as ‘Car Balls.’ And the name thing is possible…for example ‘Piebald’ and ‘Pied Ball’.

Just an example of how crosses can mud-up the gene pool.

Just do us a favor and be sure your records on these animals are accurate.

Good Luck.
