You do have to admit that it is pretty odd that 2 different species can successfully produce healthy offspring that can go on to produce their own offspring. If it were not supposed to happen, it wouldnt. Primates and humans can not interbreed successfully because the genetic code does not match. However with different species of reptiles, the genetic codes do match.

Do you have proof to support this? First hand experience maybe?

Yeah, take a look at hybrids that can produce viable offspring. So far, every species of snake that has been hybridized successfully are fertile. If their gentic codes did not match up, we would not even be having this debate. My first hand experience is with my gaboon/rhino viper hybrids. You can not deny what happens infront of your face. Obviously, there are certain crosses that can not happen in reptiles because of their genetic differences.

Taxonomy is a man made ology. LOL. What taxonomist used to believe is flipped upside down because of viable, fertile reptilian hybrids. These animals are a lot closer related than we once thought.

LOL. I didnt catch the statement in bold dude. LOL. To answer that question, no I have no first hand experience with trying to breed with primates. Although I am sure I would creat some really good looking monkeys if I did. LOL.
