lAST YEAR IN EUROPE A CHILDRENS PYTHON WAS CROSSED WITH A CORN AND PRODUCED SOME SNAKES THAT LOOK LIKE A PATTEREND HOUSE SNAKES.tHIS IS A CROSS i DID NOT THINK POSSIBLE BUT IT DID.There is a rumor of a natural timber rattler northern copperhead and I know someone who saw it.It had no rattle yet a partial matrix was there in place of it.I saw nither one but believe the people who told me.I remember when the first king corns were produced.Every one said they would be infertil.No they were not.Snake hybreds have proven fertil in most cases.I would bet that it would and could take.The male would have to be a lysatrophis most likely as you can get 3 or 4 clutches a year and they seem to always be producing viable sperm.I think as a curiosity it would be ok.The problem is most hog nose are pure to some extent and should remain that way.I may be wrong tho where I live 40 miles away you can find easterns and western in the same field and I have never herd of a hybred from them.Please if you do this keep it as a interesting specimen and do not mass produce them.
