Phil,

Corns have been hybridized with yellow rats since 1933. The offspring were fertile. Here is a literary reference for you:

Lederer, V.G. 1950. Ein bastard von Elaphe guttata (Linne)- x Elaphe qu. quadrivittata (Holbrook)- und dessen ruckkreuzung mit der mutterlichen ausgangstart. Der Zoologische Garten. 17:235-242.

An even scarier reference is cited below. Dr. HB Bechtel (the guy who produced the first albino corns in captivity) also hybridized corn X yellow rat in 1958. The first albino corns were hatched a few years later.

Bechtel, H.B., and J. Mountain. 1960. Interspecific hybridization between two snakes of the genus Elaphe. Copeia. 2:151-153.

So what's my point here? Think about it. Corn X yellow rat hybrids were produced even before the first albino corns. Look how widespread the albinos have become. Do you seriously think there aren't any corn/yellow rat crosses out there today? Just something to think about.
