is it possible for a jampea retic and a colombian red tail boa to make and have young?

Too distantly related. No boas can breed with pythons. They're a lot more similar on the outside than they are on the inside. In general you have to stick to snakes in the same genus, although those rules are bent in certain cases.

I never meant to post a pic, my mouse must have slipped. I didn't even know it was there! It's a cat gecko...

No.You have to remember that pythons are egg layers and boas give live birth.

Well, at least Boa constrictor give birth to live young... you never know what some of the other boas are doing.
