It really is only one insight as to whether or not breeding is possible. I think a good example to show this would be trying to breed a corn snake, Elaphe guttata, to a king rat, Elaphe carinata. I don't think it has been done, though one might think they are closely related. Fast forward to the present, and you now have the corn snake changed to Pantherophis guttata. It's still a corn snake, but evidence suggests that we were wrong to put it in the same genus as the asian rat snakes. Taxonomy is always a work in progress.
