Corns Hybrid to a Trans Pecos Rat snake?

I was asked in an IRC chat, why I don't breed one of my corns (or other colubrids) to my lone Trans Pecos female. Although hybrids are intriguing to me, I highly doubt I can ever do hybrids with snakes. I'm just waiting to go back to Texas to catch a nice male Trans Pecos, or have one of my friends catch me a nice one.

But this lead to an interesting conversation that the Trans Pecos genetic count was different than a corn by 2 genes. So, have they done that much genetic research on colubrids? And is it true on the trans Pecos gene count? If this is all true, I was wondering why they can't DNA sex difficult herps like Heloderma.

Thanks for reading.
