two of them?

The question came up one day with a friend regarding whether or not the Transpecos ratsnake could naturally cross with a bairds ratsnake. The answer was no since the bairds has 32 chromosomes and the transpecos has 40.

If anyone can find the info it would be great.

I would assume that southern x western would be more likely than eastern x western, but it might not be possible at all .
