There have been problems when some are bred to close. I think they were having some issues in Bateaters. I plan to breed the Carpalls back into some other Hybrids, but I still think that is years off. I do have a wall and a carpall. I always wondered what they would create. But only time will tell.

SEE WHAT I WAS THINKING WAS RIGHT ALONG THOSE LINES. FINDIN A SNAKE THAT CAN CROSS WITH TWO DIFFERENT SPECIES (NOT TO MENTION THOSE TWO SPECIES BEING COMPATIBLE WITH EACH OTHER). THEN TAKING THE CROSS OFFSRING AND BREEDING THEM. IT SHOULD WORK JUST LIKE HOW A FERTILE BATEATER CAN BREED TO EITHER THE BURM OR THE RETIC AND HOW THE BURM IS MIXED WITH THE BALL TAKE A BURMBALL AND MIX IT WITH A BATEATER? I JUST THINK THAT WOULD BE COOL...

I still think producing F2 would increase the beauty of any snake. I think the colors and pattern would be better. But time will tell.
