Hybrid viability

Hi folks,
I am currently trying to investigate the reproductive viability of hybrid yellow/greens. Has anyone here bred from a hybrid?

Warren,
I have heard of breeders that have successfully cross breed the two anacondas and also bred the offspring of the crosses. About 6 months back actually there was a guy that was selling a pair of the babies produced from a cross to a cross. The guy knew the breeder and got the first choice of the litter from the crosses. He said that they varied a lot from each sibling and the ones he had were just striking. His female was an orange color and the male was a lime green. I missed out on getting the pair due to timing but I do have a cross breed project that should produce next year. Hope this helps a little. I am no expert but at least it’s something.
I am also interested in seeing more pictures of crosses and their offspring. The orange female was an amazing looking snake.
Thank you,
Anthony

Warren,
I have also heard from reliable sources that murinus / notaeus hybrids can successfully produce viable young, but I do not have any first hand experience with reproducing these hybrids.

My friend Andy has bred hybrids. He had some born last year from hybrid to hybrid.
