Gtp x sd retic

JustMeNmySnakes · 01-20-15, 01:23 AM

Has a green tree python male ever been crossed with a super dwarf retic female?

I'm not sure since i do not keep up with hybrid breeding, i do know that all retic hybrids have been male retic x female of other species. Female retics tend to rip foreign males apart, if you're not careful even those of their own kind. I wouldn't advice attempting it.

I've never heard of it being done yet and from what I've heard female retics are fussy when it comes to breeding. So I guess the best way to go about it would be female gtp to male SD retic

I've got a long way to go since she's young. Was Just curious. Thanks for the input.

Just DON'T... WTH is wrong with the existing species that you HAVE to breed hybrids???? The more i read, the more i begin to really HATE people...

Oh shut up. Nobody asked for your opinion. Damn Negative Nancys. Only if it had been done.

To my knowledge, no, it hasn't been done. That said this is one time I would consider using a female retic as I would be nervous about a female GTP becoming egg bound more than a female retic in this scenario. Just a hunch.

It is not possible to breed a retic with a green tree python, as the genera of the two species are different. The existing snake hybrids all stick within the same genus (burm x retic= Python; GTP x carpet = Morelia; Amazon tree box x Emerald tree boa = Corallus; ball x burm, ball x blood = Python).

As far as I know, the interbreeding of snakes can only be done within one genus, due to the genetic differences between genera. So, no, you could not successfully breed a reticulated python (Python reticulatus) to a green tree python (Morelia viridis), unless you had the facilities to attempt artificial insemination.

What about the Columbian boa x yellow annie? Carpet x Blood has been done too. Burms and retics are no longer the same genera either. I'm pretty sure there are a few other examples that I'm forgetting about. It's just a name.

^ this and there's another post today about a corn x Honduran milk.

**Minkness** · 01-21-15, 10:15 PM

My question is, why do you want to breed that pair?

Don't drag me into this.

I was just looking.

Millertime, thanks for keeping it real. I'm sure people get curious when you start imagining the influence of a snake as beautiful as the GTP yet so plain would have on a cross with anything.. It may not seem right or possible, but it makes the possibilities interesting to imagine.

A forum is there to ventilate opinions, moron... Shut up yourself if that is all you have to say.

^^^^^
you are entitled to an opinion on Hybrids....

but there's no to tell the op you HATE him

if you cannot act like a grown up,then i suggest you use a different forum,as there's no place for that crap here mate...!!

if someone wants to produce Hybrids then i have no issue with them,as long as all the snakes in question are looked after correctly...

cheers shaun
