Yeah.
There are carpet python hybrids (carpals I believe)
Angolan python hybrids...
Burmese hybrids...
I think blood python hybrids.

Not sure about anything else.

I dislike hybrids...but man...the spider carpals are SICK...

Breeding a ball python to another kind of python is a hybrid...there have been a few done, as already mentioned. However, this is not the same thing as a mix dog. A husky and a Labrador retriever are both still the same species of animal. No different than say, a member of the First Nations having a child with an African American...child may be a different color than the parents, but it would still be a homo sapien, not a hybrid.

There have been a number of hybrids produced. Ball Python x Angolan Python, Ball x Carpet Python, Ball Python x Woma (!), etc. I'm sure there are many others. Images of these creations can be found on the internet.
