Can a boa and any python be compatible.
I thought boas are ovaparious and pythons lay eggs?

No, boas and pythons are not compatible.
Read the hybrid forum here on kingsnake for more info. http://forums.kingsnake.com/forum.php?catid=17

Boas are live bearers (viviparous) and pythons are egg layers (oviparous), but nobody knows whether they will cross. At least, as far as I know. Either nobody has tried or nobody has tried hard enough. It would be a real challenge to a hybrid maker, and not on the trivial level like corn snake x king snake hybrids.

Do you mean ovoviviparous?
Ovoviviparous is a method of reproduction in which fertilized eggs develop in the female (unlike oviparous), and the embryo gains no nutritional substances from the mother. All of the food is contained within the egg or birth sac.....YEP just like boas.
