Rosy x Kenyan? Rubber x Rosy? Kenyan x Rubber?

Has anyone ever interbred these species? I'm just curious for the sake of knowledge. I know however that the sand boas and rosy and rubber boas are seperated by a wide geographic divide but is that divide genetic as well? What about rubbers (stop with the dirty thoughts now) and rosies? I know they have different temp requirements as well as ecological niches.

Aside from all of that however, has anyone EVER attempted to mate any of these species? Was it succesful?

Anyways, i'm just curious. Please sate my curiousity

Never HEARD of the crosses, but if I had to bet I'd bet that the american and old world erycines would not be able to cross. Now crosses within the Eryx might be more possible, and probably has happened without people knowing about it. Many of them are very easy to confuse with each other.
But I've never heard of a Kenyan crossed with anything.
My big thing is I want to know if Kenyans and Mueller's could cross. But I don't know if I want to be the one to do it, you know?

Eryx - All the fun of a boa in a convenient pocket size!

yeah, because of just the geographic divide and the genetic drift that has occured in the past, i agree that crosses between old world and new world erycines would be unlikely. But, bluerosy bred an old world dumerils boa with a new world boa constrictor.

Anyways, maybe it's possible. I don't want to seem like i'm advocating the future crossing of eryx species. But i'm not against it either. That's a whole new issue there that i don't wanna go into.

Thanks for the response.

I would like to see a kenyan and an arabian cross. Head mounted eyes on a more colorful snake might look neat. Im sure a rough scaled and kenyan could cross with no problem making a more colorful rough scaled.
