Some of the more well-known hybrids (these are all fertile as far as I know) include:
Carpondro (carpet pythond x chondropython (GTP))
Carpall (carpet python x ball python)
Blood ball (ball python x blood python)
Super ball (ball python x short-tailed python)
Burmball (ball python x Burmese python) -don't ask me how this one works- it's gotta be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway for the poor male BP, lol....
Wall (woma python x ball python)
Bateater (Burmese python x reticulated python)
Burmese Rock (Burmese python x rock python)
Jungle retic (Bateater x reticulated python)
I'm sure there are more, but these are the common ones that I am aware of. There is less clear hybridization in boas, but combos of Hogg Island x Colombian, Colombian x central american, and others exist. These are more dangerous, IMO, as they often do not differ significantly in appearance from the parent species and as such are often not represented as being hybrids.
I personally would like to see a "carpoma" (carpet x woma python) and a woma x white-lipped python. I think they would make interesting combinations.

I agree with Kim 100%, I'm actually buying a green/yellow anaconda hybrid in a few months, and I'm actively working on a SD tiger retic/spider ball python hybrid, and the retic is 100% het albino, so hopefully down the lines we will see a spider super tiger albino balltic, from superdwarf lines.
