In Reply to: ball x burmese ... does it exist? posted by newtbeth on November 13, 2002 at 20:31:16:

Hi,
I know there is a lot of controversy over this, but I'm just going to tell you what I've heard about its plausibility. Genetically it would be possible. Machanically, it would be impossible. The shear size difference would make copulaTION impossible. The best chance to have a copulation would be to have a very tiny female burm and a huge male ball, but I still doubt it seriously. The other route would be artificial insemination. Genetically speaking, my biologyteacher said it would be theoretically possible for them to produce offspring, but logistically impossible.

:I was wondering if a ball x burmese python cross has ever been made? Has anyone tried? Does anyone have pictures?
