"I have my doubts as to whether these will be fertile"
Why do you feel this way?
I cannot think of any hybrid snakes that have proven to be infertile. NERD even proved that a Carpet X Macklots was fertile by breeding it to a Diamond Python. This infertility concept seems to stem from what we have learned about crosses in mammals. So far it has been otherwise in lower vertebrates. But hey, they just got a baby from a female False Killer whale X Bottlenose Dolphin that bred to another male bottlenose dolphin. So even that theory in mammals can now be questioned. This cross was done both times at a zoo in Hawaii I believe.
