I highly doubt it. New world and old world species usally are not compatible from what I have heard. They dont seem very closely related either, so my guess would be no.

I would agree. I would also ask why would you want to? The result (if it were possible) likely wouldn't be much to look atas they really don't have anything that would "improve" each other.

I think a more interesting cross would be between a Leopard snake and a Red Rat. Just as unlikely for success but at least if you did it would be very interesting.
