In Reply to: ball x burmese ... does it exist? posted by newtbeth on November 13, 2002 at 20:31:16:
:I was wondering if a ball x burmese python cross has ever been made? Has anyone tried? Does anyone have pictures?
It to exist?Other than the varying size difference there are alot of other factors to consider.One being that they are from two very different climates.Even though there is a ARP x Burm cross and a retic x burm doesnt mean that they were meant to be that way.That was a weekend project that went very wrong but thats a whole other story.The ARP,burm,retic. share basically the same kind of climate,Hot and humid.Balls on the other hand have the best of both worlds because of their extensiveness through most of their region which ranges from fairly humid conditions to somewhat dry (not like a desert dry but with less humidity) As opposed to the 3 mentioned usually range in the more humid areas.Ball pythons can adapt rather quickly to certain conditions whereas the other 3 takes a little getting used to.In other words balls can deal with husbandry mistakes as in low humidity,sudden changes in temps,(not extreme changes like from 90 to 60 in a couple of minutes,but from 90 to 70 within a couple of hours)etc. whereas the other 3 mentioned would probably require a vet trip after about 2 days of that because of being susceptible to RI.Oh and the blood/ball cross is artificial.Didnt happen naturally and probably wouldnt.They artificially insiminated one of the 2 to get offspring.They were not viable with each other.So if by chance they did do this then they to would be artifical because that wouldnt happen naturally without a little help from the genetics department.
