just a note on hybrid sterility. Not all hybrids are sterile. For example wolf and dog hybrids are not sterile. It is generally thought to be a product of domestication. As domesticated animals are used to more change in environment and what have you, so they can handle the "change" in genetics. But obviously this isn't always true, look at horse and donkey crosses (mules)
I do understand that the beautiful snakes you bred aren't crosses though
very nice work by the way

Thanks! You are correct -- one of the biggest misconceptions about hybrid snakes is that they are "sterile." This is, for the most part, has proven to be untrue. I believe that crosses such as Carpondros and Bateaters (as two examples) have both proven to be quite fertile. And the offspring of Irians, Jungles and Diamond x Jungles, bred to Jaguars have all obviously proven to be fertile as well.

Futhermore Colubrids are getting Hybridized like crazy & the offspring all seem to successfully produce with one another, the Jungle Corns (Corn X CK) being the most popular. Mark
