Are they easy to breed together, and will there be a day when they are somewhat common like snows? I have not heard much on this hybrid, but have heard that they do not fair well? I am just curious. I would like to think that breeding an albino ball python to an angolian python might be able to produce an albino angolian ball. You might be able to breed it a few generations so that it would end up being more angolian then ball python? Any thoughts or specific research in this area would be great. Is it wrong to breed them together? Angolians are so exspensive. How much would an albino be worth? I would not sel it!

in my humble opinion.
Why mess those two up? For what good reason? Just cause its "cool"....??? Just cause ya "can"? (not meaning you)
Angolan Pythons are awesome just as they are, so are Ball Pythons.
For the world of me i don't see why anyone would want to mix those two.
And as far as i know, the mixes go for far more then a pure Angolan. (insane)
Again, why anyone would pay double for a cool mix, when you can have the real thing, is absolutely beyond me.
Angolans are very rare, because right now they cannot be imported. There probably are a few albinos in the wild, but they cannot be collected.
I guess a pure albino Angolan would be cool, although i prefer the natural color, as i do in the Ball Python.
They are wonderful snakes, and i wish people would leave it at that.

Yes this could be done,but I wouldnt,to few Angolans.Wait till I get a pair.If you want a cross do a Retic-Ball cross.I would call It a Reticall. Just think a superduppertigerhypopastelringer I would sell them for $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00 and take over the world.I think we sould breed Monkeys to humans so we can be really hairy(Its cold out).Snow Balls common=North (freeken cold)Pole?? Oh that price is for het pairs only

I would just leave the angolans alone. They maybe expensive but they are rare. If you look at the ball market they really are not that expensive! A single pied, is a lot more expensive than a pair of angolans and there are a lot more pieds than angolans.
