:I don't think this sounds like a pretty snake at all and can see no sense in making an attempt. However I think your idea that the size difference HAS to preclude the possibility is invalid.
:I think everyone has seen a begal/shepard cross at some time in there lives. Chihuahua's are notorious for climbing up the backs of larger dogs LOL. In the snake world look at the Isabel Ground Boas, the female certainly looks IMPOSSIBLY larger than the male. If it is to work I think the female would HAVE to be the Burmese ... and the Ball Python better insist on the male superior position LOL. (sorry couldn't resist that one) The drive to procreate is a major motivator to overcome obstacles. Now don't misconstrue the last statement, I don't think a Ball Python would be driven to copulate with a Burmese Python.
:However, kingsnakes have been fooled to copulate with rat snakes.

::they are all "pythons".. but they are also all sized basically the same.. how would you breed a 13' burmese with a 4' ball python?.. or vive versa..??..

::it hasnt happened.. and it never will happen IMHO..
