In my opinion, without
question, these are the most interesting
and stunning animals in our collection.
They are spectacular snakes and I feel
lucky to have the opportunity to work
with them. I was fortunate enough to
have hatched this beautiful Marble Borneo
Short-Tail, Ball python cross in 2002.
In total, I was successful once in 4
years, producing only one viable clutch.
The original offspring are now grown,
and have produced the first F2 Superball!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is very interesting and intriguing
to watch these animal's behavior. The
Superballs have great personalities
and are completely docile. While most
SuperbBalls tend to burrow just beneath
the mulch surface like Blood Pythons,
some will "ball up" similar
to Ball Pythons. Super Balls share common
characteristics of both Blood Pythons
and Ball Pythons. Having less humidity
requirements than a Blood Python, having
superior appetites unlike many Ball
Pythons, and having an accelerated growth
and sexual maturity rate, these truly
are Super Balls! Super Balls are completely
fertile, capable of reproducing with
either parent species or each other.
These hybrids exhibit "hybrid vigor,"
with each Super Ball inheriting the
superior qualities of each parent species,
and grow faster than either a Ball or
Blood! The Superballs have reached sexual
maturity at eighteen months of age for
both males and females.
These Hybrids bring a fresh, new and
exciting look to the Ball Arena. It
will be exciting to see the great potential
for these animals unfold as they are
bred into other morphs or bred back
to 100% Curtus or 100% Regius.
PLEASE BREED RESPONSIBLY: We at Roussis
Reptiles stress the importance of preserving
the genetic integrity of all animals,
we must be responsible when breeding
and selling hybrids. All hybrids should
be micro chipped, and if sold should
always be identified as such. Distinguishing
between pure bred and hybrid animals
by keeping proper records and micro
chipping hybrids animals is a must.
We are constantly shaping the future
of herpetoculture with designer snakes,
lets do it responsibly. |
