In Reply to: Answer: No it doesnt exist.? why would you want >>>>more posted by highlander1 on November 13, 2002 at 23:45:16:
I never expressed a desire, or lack thereof, for it to exist. I just want to know what it looks like. Anyway...
Yeah, yeah, so they don't live in the same place. Neither did the ancestors of the beefalo. I was inquiring about the possibility, though you do bring up the very interesting question of what temperature and humidity the hybrid would prefer. Still, this can be deduced easily enough by letting the snake crawl around in a wide temperature gradient. ::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. Where did you hear that? I haven't found any mention of artificial insemination in this cross, nor in snakes at all (though I only recently started looking for such). But this is more along the lines of my question: regardless of what happens in nature - obviously burma is nowhere near the african Sahel - are the snakes "compatible" enough to produce offspring together? ::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. artificial insemination isn't really genetics at all - though I suppose once molecular genetic techniques get to be even easier and cheaper, *somebody* will think to clone(*) the gene they want into the animal they want (such as has been done with spider silk in goats, insulin in bacteria, etc) (*)Figure of speech. No relation to the "cloning" that's in the news. -beth DISCLAIMER: Alright, after that last bit you're all thinking I'm a monster who wants to play god. Lighten up. I don't even own any pythons of breeding age.
::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.
