dumb question?

caimandog Mar 30, 2009 10:21 AM

I was just thinking since carpet pythons and gtp's have been crossed. Has anyone done a scrub python hybrid project? Most of the carpondros I have seen turn into a muddy adult. I would think the iridescence of the scrub would look amazing with some bright green and blue undertones. Just a thought

It has already been done
By Mr. Farmer. He knows about the post. Maybe he will post a few shots.

wow not quite what I expected but very pretty, do they still change colors strongly as they mature? It seems the scrub aspect dominates, is that true for all the neonates? Ill have to dig through hybrid haven I didnt remember seeing pics there.

Have not seen a Scrub/GTp. That is one of the few scrub Hybrids I have seen.

Yeah I figured. I wonder why? Maybe their life histories are too diverged to do it easily? Still would love to see it.

I bred a Ball to an Irian. I think that is alot more different.

it is but it isnt, arent they both predominantly on the ground? more similar climates etc..? I pretty much love any carpet hybrid though haha

when it comes to snake hybrids there is still alot to be discovered, and still a ton of crosses that havent been attemped.

i once asked if a corn and a ball could breed... seems crazy and probably wouldnt work but nobody has tried it yet (as far as i know) so for all we know it might actualy be possible.
