as long as they have some of the same species they will still breed right? example: if i had a super corn(75%corn, 25%king) and another hybrid that had alittle of the same king species would they breed?

There are good breeder males & disinterested males this goes for pure and hybrid snakes. Some hybrid (or pure) males will breed anything I had a small male Eastern Hognose that was like this! He tried to breed a female cornsnake that was briefly housed with him while cages were being cleaned. I don't think it's necessary for there to be same species involved when it comes to alot of colubrids especially when hybrid genetics are involved. I applaud you on not breeding back that "super corn" with a pure cornsnake and getting offspring that would be difficult to tell from a pure animal. These animals are of little value as they don't have a hybrid appearance and aren't "pure" animals so they aren't wanted by either camp...and in my opinion are one of the major reasons that anti hybrid people have a legitimate issue with hybridization as a whole. Hybrid projects should always break new ground when possible.
