I'd put money down that you couldn't cross Aspidites with anything. Although it would be worth that money to see babies with 1/2 a labial heat pit.

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

I'm not saying there weren't more obvious similarities between species in these examples. I just think nothing should be brushed off as impossible until it's tried. If you do enough scenting and seperate environmental control you could get anything to breed, weather it would take or not however would be a different story. Could slug out, or could produce sterile offspring, or could be like a bateater and only be able to reproduce with 1 species or the other, but not other bateaters.

In any event, just offered some ideas to get the hybridizers off carpondros, angolan balls, and blood balls and onto something a bit more creative

Bloods and balls are the same genus. Chondros and carpets are the same genus. Aspidites and another genus? It is possible, but I doubt it.

Remember that many classifications are made by observation and to make it easier for humans to identify. GTP and Carpets weren't in the same genus until recently. Classifications change constantly, so often that, with the case of snakes, I hold little regard for their value as anything more than just a label.

That's not to discount the work done by taxonimists, but to praise it. The changes show that major improvements are being achieved in the field.

Again I'm not saying this could or could not be done, would just be cool to try

I definitely see your point. Aspidites and Morelia are just so much different. Chondropython and Morelia are obviously close relatives, just based on structure of the body and such. But who knows? I am not big into hybrids and would never producev them. I just lurk here. Keep an eye on stuff.

Personally... I'm dying to know if Mueller's and Kenyan sand boas can interbreed.. I just don't want to be the one to try it.

chondropython isnt a genus any more, gtps are in the genus moreila. womas and blackheads would be the only cross i could see happening, its probably already been done. as for the wole a snake with only heat pits on one side wouldnt happen they would have heat pits on both sides or not at all

prove that!!!
I guess you could do it easily by cross breeding some Epicrates. Better get started!

if u are askin if i could prove anything of what i said then the anwser is yes, e-mail me if u dont believe me trg12528@yahoo, if ur post was on sumthin else then i apologize

please do so here on the forum. I'm sure all of us could use the enlightenment you can provide.

if u need to know why a snake would only have one side of heat pits you shouldnt have posted in the first place.any one that would cross anything into boelens pythons needs to have there snake confistcated. and i take the whole only aspidites thing back i forgot scrubs and boelens may cross, being that boeles are scrubs pythons, womas/blackheads are undergoin taxonomic review and may be actually taken out of the python family so that should clear things up

PS boelens are srcubs for those of u that dont understand that there is six species of scrub, nauta/tanimbar pythons ,kinghorni/austrailian scrubs ,amethistina/ srcubs ,boeleni/boelens ,clastolepis/moluccan python, and tracyea/halmahera pythons

Calling a boelen's python a scrub only shows me you've never seen one in real life. It is definately a very close relative of carpet pythons, skeletal structure, scale size, shape and counts, etc are all much much closer to carpets than scrubs.

Everything else you said makes sense, but doesn't prove anything that you were asked to prove in pevious posts.

One sided heat pits ofc does not make sense, but significantly reduced pit counts might... For anyone pushing for the one sided heat pit idea, snakes, relatively all vertibrates that I can think of for that matter, are laterally symetric skeletal and external structure (there may be some exceptions, I didn't really put too much thought into it.

lol boeleni are are one of the six species of scub ask anyone that has crediblity and i have seen and held things u cant even imagine

mDNA testing shows the boelens closest relative is the halmahera python another one of the six scrubs

Interesting, could you post the information on the research that was done on this and their findings?

the barkers or yessar

tree boas all the fun none of the venom

all i remember is the barkers saying that the boelens closest relative is tracyea and pretty much what they say i listen to and believe
