Don't give someone that idea. They are closely related. As far as cross breeding, I dont know.

might be possible if someone figured out how to artifically inceminate a snake other than that its not gonna happen lol i realize that male anacondas are smaller than the females in most cases but still massive snakes could you imagine that laying on a female 5 foot thin bodied brazilian or the other way around a huge female green laying on a tiny male brazilian lol be like Arik sleeping with Fat Alberts mom

I think it's stupid to try to mate snakes like that. Anacondas have remained out of the morph community snd I like it. I like being able to see an anaconda show on TV and seeing a snake that looks like mine. I don't want to see pastel green labyrinth condas. They are the most georgeous snakes without all that.

The only exception I'd make is for albinos!!!

There are "natural" morphs besides albino...they don't usually survive in the wild either for the same reasons. Where did you guys think all these genetics came from? Now hybridizing is kind of crazy and i think there is no need for an anaconda brb cross. I made a post in the ball python forum that kind of went off and was a bit over done in reguards to snakes as investments and NOT pets.

I know there are alot more natural morphs and genetic variations than just albinos. Just look at burms. The origional green phase burm was from a wild caught. Selective breeding is not a bad thing. Even Kelly selectively breeds his condas, not for a specific color or pattern, but for temperment.
Hybridizing is differen't and goes against the natural order. Does anyone actually buy these snakes?
