I like the bateaters, but the cateaters just look like a rock python. I don't really understand the names though.

I don't have any pic rite now because I'm on my iPhone. But a bateater is a Burmese Python breed with a reticulated Python and a cateater is a African rock python breed to a Burmese python.

Bat eater originally started out as kind of a joke by the person who crossed a burm with a retic when he first called them "Borneo Bateaters". One of my buddies use to know the guy pretty well, lol. Its just a glorified hybrid. Im not fond of hybrids, though the retic x burms are definitely cool looking, Id still never own a hybrid lol.
