Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am thinking about trying to breed create some superballs(blood x ball hybrid) but I would like to get a little more information. Like do I need a male blood and female ball or the opposite or do I need to cycle them in the winter same the way? any help will be greatly appreciated

For your ego's safety and to increase your chances at getting some useful information I would ask this in the hybrid forum. My advice, why not purchase some of the existing hybrids and produce F2 animals which are much more attractive. Whatever course you take, don't breed the hybrids to a pure Ball python. Keep the hybrid project to itself with percentages as close to 50/50 as possible. Backcrosses are often difficult to distinguish from just a abberant or unusual ball python and you don't want to produce animals that could be inadvertantly purchased/bred as pure ball pythons. People who produce hybrids have the added responsibility of making sure offspring aren't misrepresented as something they aren't down the line, at least as best they can. This is almost impossible with 1/4 or less backcrosses.

Why would you won’t to fool with mother nature like that ? If GOD wonted a X Blood and Ball He would have made one long ago . Just because you can doesn’t mean you should !! David of DS Reptile Rescue , Removal & Rehabilitation

If you want to make mutts watch your neighborhood beagle tackle a poodle! Take this to the hybrid forum where it belongs.Terry

look its not the big of a deal guys their no need for anomosity. I just asked a question so relax. And to answer one individual question I seen a blood x ball hybrid and it was absolutely beautiful. And if I had known about the hybrid forum earlier I would have asked the question to relax people.

WHY?
