But this exact hybrid has been spotted before.

I would have to say yes anything is possible but No you would not likely see it nor should it be done. its sorta like blood/balls yes it can be done but should it........

I think a burm x bp cross would be much worse and more likely to have odd problems than a blood x ball cross. I mean the size difference is quite staggering...

I woudl guess that the ball python and the burm would be too different genetically to cross them successfully. This being evidenced by their very differing sizes. Maybe someone else is a little bit more knowledgible on genetics?...

Just the thought of a bp locking up with a burm gives me the creeps.

Actually, they're both within the same genus, which would possibly make it easier to breed them together than with other genera - i.e. Morelia or Liasis. We've bred Angolans to balls, burms to retics, carpets to macklots to diamonds, all with varying & surprising results.
A debate over whether or not hybrid "should" be created is another matter entirely. Personally I'm not a huge fan, but it is fascinating to see the outcome of some of the various crosses, as well as finding out when Mother Nature puts her foot down - which she has done more than once on various combos.
Just my $.02

Hybrids are fine with me as long as you are sure that there won't be overdo genetic defects that you overlook simply because the snake looks cool.
