>>That is the worst source you could have found.Check out this link (http://molyworld.net/aa/cross15a.htm). It is the domesticated/wild pig cross. Look at the image of the "wild pig" it is not Sus scrofa , is it Tayassu tajacu (a Javalina), which is not in any way related to the genus Sus. Granted I agree 1 in 1000 mules may be fertile (good luck producing viable offspring with them), but seriously, just because someone has a website does not mean that they are credible.

I hate to play devil's advocate here but the question wasn't whether they could produce viable young the question was can they breed.
It is proven that animals with a chromosome count differential of 2 can breed.
So, that answers that part of the question.
It probably isn't likely to happen but it has been proven possible in other animals which means there is a potential of success with snakes. Especially with the "ease" at which different species of snakes are crossed. From corn/kings to burmese/balls..etc..etc..etc
Viable young isn't/wasn't the question.
Should it be done wasn't the question either.
Every single person on this forum could have a different view/opinion/belief on that question.
And I thought I would add this little bit of food-for-thought:
Just because WE post on a forum it doesn't make US any more credible then anyone else. Website, forum or whatever.
