Exclamation Boa & Python Breeding together

Has anyone ever heard of a Boa and Python Breeding? We had eggs hatch last night and they are from a Columbian Boa (Male) and an Albino Burmese Python (Female) I know this doesn't sound possible, but it happened! Can anyone help me, or give me someone to contact? I have pictures and everything and some are healthy and some are deformed... (one eye, etc)

I appreciate any help you might be able to give me, no one believes me so far....

The two snakes have lived together for about nine years in the same place, they are my boyfriends, but I am trying to help research this since it is crazy (especially since as you probably know Boa's give birth to live young). I posted the album a couple threads above. I don't have any pictures of the Boa right now because last night he was at another house, but Burmese is in there

Oh ya, and I think they are all albino too, they are so cool looking (the ones that are healthy, the one eyed one is mine though )

If this is rare, I want ot be able to, I don't know, maybe to talk to someone who has heard of this before? If there is a way to care for the ones that are deformed or if they are SOL. I don't know any herpatologists so I can't call anyone, and any of the vets I called didn't know what to do.

As much as I would like to view these pics, because I am a bit skeptical. However, I really don't feel like signing up for an account just to view your pics. Can you post the pics in the thread? All you have to do is open a pic in your albumn, right click on it, select properties and copy the URL. Then you can reply to your thread, select IMG, paste the copy of the URL. VIOLA!!

Thanks

Doug

alright, i can see that they are albino and that some of them are deformed. i can't tell by these pics that they are hybrids, tho. maybe some closeups of individuals would help. do they have boa-like traits? in one of the pictures, i thought i saw one that was kind of tan colored and patternless, but it could have just been the light. are they all relatively similar or is there a lot of variation in the clutch? any more pics u can take would help me figure this whole thing out.
