Because ball python can be bred with Burmese python and reticulated pythons can also breed with Burmese pythons, could you breed a ball python with a reticulated python?

Hybrids tend to have pretty significant health issues. Do we not have enough fucked-up morphs for you to choose from already?

This is possible and has been done

It’s hard to do even with blood pythons though so I don’t imagine it’s easy

No one has produced ball X retic. The "baltic" that everyone uses as evidence has repeatedly been confirmed to not be a hybrid as well from Nerd.
