will nics breed with columbian red tails

Done quite a bit of hunting around for info and can't find a definate answer. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't since they are both boas but I know there are hundreds of different breeds. If anyone has any insight or info pls get back with me

I would think most definately they would be able to breed and produce viable offspring. I would discourage it as mixing the many boa constrictor subspecies further muddies the gene pool and makes it more difficult for other keepers to gain pure breeding stock. Even if you correctly label your offspring as crosses, how long will that label follow the animal and it's offspring?

I won't be mixing them. I have a pair of regular nics ill be breeding next year, its just one of those things that's been eating my brain away. Both of em have a lot of pink and will make good babys (I hope anyways)
