  1. it's been done but its rare

    the weridest thing happned to me i have 1 corn snake and

    1 ball python they live together but there both no more then 2 feet and i also have a boa they is 2 1/2 feet in a spreat tank i was cleaning out my corn and pyhtons tank and i found 4 eggs !!!!!!!!! im standing there like no its impossible there 2 diffrent species right????? i wanted to find out wat happned so i brought both snakes and the 4 eggs to the vet he looked at me and said yep there snake eggs i was like no **** how the h**l did it happen im 15 and i use sarcasim alot i guess :p so i stood there like nooooo there chiken eggs?? he laughed and said  i know its unusal but its possible i was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  2. it wont work...just trust me....they wouldnt even try to mate.

  3. i would think that it is not possible, i wouldn't even recommend it even if it would work.  i don't agree with the person above about them killing or hurting each other.  snakes live together just fine i have two ball pythons together and i haven't had any problems at all, just make sure they are around the same size so that they don't smother each other.

  4. probably not

    Hybrids aren't eva a good idea never ever

    A: there worthless u wont sell them because they will likely be sterile or have deformities

    B:To create a hybrid u must first put 2 snake of different species together. this can cause all sorts of trouble including killing one or both of your snakes. issues with mixing species include fighting, eating one another, incompatible toxins, stress from the mere presence of the other, all thiese can harm your snakes.

    C:snakes are mainly solitary animals that only come together to mate In captivity mating and introducing new snakes to each other requires careful monitoring maybe for months.

    Its never advised to mix different species of any snake reptile or amphibian its not something thats easy, just because they have similar needs doesn't mean they can be kept together it takes good knowledge of your pets careful monitoring and a good solid pinch of luck not something that should be taken lightly

    do u really want to risk your pets for some silly pipe dream

  5. no don't try it one may also eat the other
