Ball Pythons
|
Ball pythons are robust, easy to breed providing that you give them their basic needs. They are cool and discreet. They don't grow that much allowing everybody not only to keep them into "small" cages and to feed them with reasonable sizes and amounts of rodents compared to other species. Small prey small cleaning! We are far away from the amount of work required for a Burmese python cage! And the aesthetic! Tricky subject because so subjective! But ball python is the snake witch, with corn snakes (Pantherophis guttatus) offers the most variable colours and patterns. So of course you could in a first time enjoy yourself with all those existing variations but there are still lots of new to discover! And they are infinite! What could be more exiting than crossbreeding a particular pattern with exceptional colours? What a hard but accepted wait between laying and hatching! What emotion when a baby snake's egg tooth tears a hole through the shell and show for the fist time his head! And how will they look like? Because we have no idea this until they have hatched. It is like playing sorcerer's apprentices without the inconveniences nor the risks it sometimes implies. Indeed, it's absolutely not hybridization. Crossbreeds are done between the same species. This is an important thing for all those who want to keep intact species that have spent thousands of years to become what they are. |
