If someone where to want to make a hybrid using a D'alberts python, what do you think would be the most likely pairing that would be successful and yield the most unique looking offspring?

Also, for my own curiosity and only that, is there any reason why this snake would definitely NOT be able to hybridize with a burmese python? What about a corn snake? Both are common, but I think a hybrid between one of them and a D'alberts would be more than "awesome".

Have any hybrids been made with this species already? If so, what?

Thanks for your reply, in advance.

I know of no hybrids with this python. I would say yes to the burmese and no to the corn snake. Corn snakes are just to different in genotype and phenotype to have a viable outcome. Fertility periods also being very hard to line up.

Would be interesting however

i've heard that the white lipped python already has problems breeding.... if it worked then that would be cool, but the odds would be tough
