red milk X sinaloan - honduran x bairdi - red milk x western fox - or any of the previous to obsoleta

i must say that i have not seen any of the crosses mentioned but i once inquired about doing an eastern x red milk and was told that most dont use red milks in hybrids because they can be fussy eaters and by putting all of that effert in to a hybrid and then not have them eat is too much of a risk..
the hondo x bairdi could be neat though

I very much doubt you will get any ratsnakes (including fox snakes) to even attempt to mate with Lampropeltis species (such as milks), let alone produce viable offspring. These animals are just not very closely related to one another; getting within-genus hybrids is hard enough.

These aforementioned breedings between NA Ratsnakes and Lampropeltis have been done countless times with decent fertility.
On what basis are you making your comments? Is there something I am not getting here?

You're right; I looked up a bit more on it after I posted. I must admit I'm surprised; I wouldn't think ratsnakes would attempt to court one of their natural predators.

So ignore my comments. But, I must ask: why? Why not just have a fox snake, or a kingsnake? I don't see the appeal of these mix-and-match snakes.
