Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello,

Is there a genetic reason why there seem to be so few python hybrids out there? The vast majority of the animals posted about on this forum are colubrids -- is there a scientific reason for that, or is it just a coincidence of interest?

Thanks,

There are a few...

What is that a hybrid of??

Looks like a burm x retic to me (though I could be wrong).

It's a beautiful animal, though. How is its temperment? (More like a burm, or more like a retic?)

A liger (lion x tiger) can grow to be half a ton -- twice the weight of the largest cat alive, the Siberian tiger. I wonder how big that snake would grow to be, if it lived for another twenty years!

As far as species crosses go, I've seen retic x burms, GTP x carpet, and ball x blood. Colubrids crosses are more common because they're more common and popular in the US, and easier to breed in general.

I am waiting on a female columbian boa that was bred to a Dumerals to drop any day now.
Has this been done yet?

Wow, I haven't heard of anyone doing it, although I've been suprised that more people haven't tried. I guess the taxonomists were right to put them in the same genus!

Does anyonme have a picture of a blood x ball cross? I have never even heard of one and would be very interested in seeing one. Thanx, Dave

As far as I know (and I could be wrong, of course), this is the only blood x ball cross ever successfully hatched:

I remember someone posting a clutch of this cross for sale on this site. It was probably about 2 years ago or so tho, and im pretty sure it wasnt the same one you were talking about.
