O.K, I said I'd never post on this forum again, but you did not post this on any forum I participate in, so I gotta make this post.
My first reaction is "that is just wrong, we've crossed the line here" but after looking at the pictures and things, my post is not going to be about that.
I never thought a woma would breed with anything besides a blackhead, and dont think that cross should be highly sought after, but I'd be interested in the results none the less.
This cross is way more interesting in my eyes. Woma's can breed with other pythons - it's been proven now.
Many of the pictures, to me, look very much like baby rainbow boas (in head shape and things). I don't know what I'd have thought the cross would have looked like, but a kind of boa is not what I'd have thought. So I guess I'm glad to see what they look like - and huge congrats on that project.
7 eggs hatching is way better than most bateater crosses I've heard of - so you either did an amazing job, or it might be suggest that woma's and carpets are easier to cross than retics and burms - which most people consider to be much easier to do.
I have these questions.... Did the snakes actually breed and do it naturally, or was there any human intervention at all. By this I mean any hormones for the female, or any re-direction of semen.
To me, the science of this cross is more interesting than the fact someone played frankenstein.
I tried to make bateaters last year cause I think they are cool, so I'm not gonna preach about trying this cross. Very interesting snakes, - looks like a lot of diversity, I can't wait to see them as they age.
