A friend of mine keeps asking me if it has been done. I told him that I am pretty sure it hasn't since there is very little relation in origin. I thought I would ask if any of you had ever heard a success story so I could give him a more educated answer. Thanks

I would be surprised if it worked, but there's really not much more difference in those two species than there is between aspidites & carpets and that was sucessfull.....I always thought Calabaria X Charina would be a neat cross. Did he get copulation?

Maybe a dumb question - but have live bearing X egg laying ever succesfully been done?
One thing that would concern me (again, maybe stupid) - do live bearing snakes have adequate egg teeth? It would be aweful for a developed snake to die inside an egg because genetics didn't give it an adequate egg tooth.

Nature will find a way.
