i would say get yourself a nice albino jungle they are really easy going great feeders and love to breed. pick yourself a nice morph corn, go for something with strip or motley so you will be able to produce some super's with nice aberrant patterns.
A nice easy start to the world of hybrids..remember to give the true linage with any offspring that you sell.

Well thats up to you..
I was giving you an easy intro , if you want to start from scratch then you will need at least a pair of each and some breeding experience.. if you havent bred snakes before then i would suggest you start with non hybrid cali or corn or both so you can get used to the difference in aggresion between the two species when they mate.
Jake it takes a good bit of experience to get say a corn and king to mate without the corn ending up as poop or in a cardboard box with a tombstone..

Try this = handle a cornsnake for 10mins then handle a cali strait after, see the reaction of the kingsnake ??? yum yum time.

even with allready hybridized snakes you can still run into the kill factor..

I know there a member of the king family but i've never herd of a nelson's milksnake eating each other or other snake so i would say you safe with them.Get your self a pair of corn's i'd say malti het's what ever you can find (1 male 1 female) then get a (female nelson's milksnake either an albino or het albino) house them all together and when spring(mateing seson)come around and the corns start mateing that it's when the female nelson's will get court up in the mateing frenzy and at the end of it all the female corn will have fertile eggs and so should the female nelson's have some fertile egg's atlest (corn x nelson)should give you some very pretty hybrid's .

It's very rare the you would get one speices to breed with another you have to trick them.

would the same thing work with something other than nelsons?

I don't see why not as long as the other speice is't a cannibal.
