"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? |

| 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.. |

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).

I'm not sure there has been an F2 breeding, quite a lot of Hybrids are infertile. I like Royals the size they are  |

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.... |

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

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. |

Once I have a female royal of breeding size I plan to try by using a male dwarf burmese.
