I guess I will never get used to the fact that people are always going do stupid things with snakes.Burmese Balls Blood Balls,we havent unraveled all the combos of the ball python yet and a few want to destroy the true animal.Look at the kingsnake and the cornsnake crosses,not many buy them as they have no value and when they get loose and go back to the wild population more problems.Oh well I guesss I will get a big female corn and cal king and cross them with my ball pythons so I can be the first to make CORNBALLS and KINGBALLS and a big hondurnan for MILKBALLS.Terry

NP = No Post ... you were still dumd enough to click the though...lol

Don't tell anyone I'm hiding here or I'll set my milkball on you!!

You are right on the money, crosses SUCK. Leave the animals pure. Hell if they want crosses how about cats and balls for "Hairballs".

Here is the first steps to my new line of PASTEL PIT BALLS. Maybe I will get a pastel pit puppy as well, it seems possible. Thanks David

That poor dog!...molested by a ball! haha

I dunno David,i'm not so sure a strong feeding response of the offspring would be a good thing.Would definetely bring new meaning to the saying "watch your fingers".

Ummm if you breed the milkballs I will have to get a pair so I can start on my malted milkball. The pitball pic is priceless. I do agree that I just dont go for the crosses though.

OK, I know this is a little different than than Blood Ball thing but haven't Burmrse/Retic crosses been found in the wild? Also I have read that Emerald/Cooks tree boa crosses have been found wild as well. If this happens in the wild than mayby it is the natural way of things. The fossil record does not support Darwinian evolution (something Darwin himself admited) but I am not ready to throw my hands in the air and say that "intelegent design" is at work either (not discounting the possibility of there being a creator god, just saying that I don't think the world is only 15,000 years old), so mayby species crossing is a cattalist for evolution. Just some food for thought.

um, i'm confused as to how darwin doesn't aplly to crosses between species. Mules have been around a long time, i think people knew that species could cross.

but anyways, yeah hybrids are kind of wierd, i guess as long as they don't produce infertile young or lots of defomred babies, i'm more ok with it, but it still makes me a bit uneasy.

I wasn't saying Darwin did or didn't have anything to do with crosses; it's been about 20 years since I read Origins so I'm not sure one way or the other. His theory states that anamals change little by little until a new species is produced. The fossil record shows species appearing out of no where and changing but not becoming other species. I was saying that perhaps evolution is due to cross breeding between species (like in the case of Burm/Retics).

I'm sorry, but I love hybrids. I still can't wait to get my bateaters.
