have any of you guys seen the burm-ball on the johnberry website?!
here's a pic
"Burmese x Ball python hybrid. Dad was a Ball python, mum was an Albino Burm.
£3500.00"
crazy price! nice looking snake though. wonder how big they'd grow? any ideas? |

Wonder how many duds were created just to make one that looks like that?
I do like it though, and love carpondros |

Even though I generally prefer wild-type snakes, I like the burmball! |

your right there i think BE either that or the offspring died, cant remember, but maybe that is nature taking care of this bad cross....
It's an attractive looking snake, but it just feels a bit weird and unnatural to me. Python from Asia + python from Africa? The very fact that the female needs to be inseminated artificially goes to show how bizarre the pairing is in my opinion! 
Maybe I'm a cynic, but it seems to me like it's just another way for someone to slap on an enormous price-tag and make a bundle of money off of something that's basically just a novelty. |

that is a nice snake, size of burms compared to royals quite a difference.
dont think i would get one, my baby royal is my pride and joy at the moment |

I dont think they were bred by traditional means, I seem to remember reading that the males sperm was implanted...

Like you say that is a good looking snake but very expensive.
I'm presuming both snakes would have to have been a similar size for this to work!?! (I have no idea, just speculating here).

the only ones i know of are a pair, and they are not huge, but they have not got a very good temperament, but others may be ok.. |
