It's never advisable to keep different species together.

Not to keep them together but breed them like you would do with corns

There are numerous discussions on the forum regarding hybrids. Do a search with the keyword "hybrids" and see what you get.

I've heard rumours of corn x BHS, but I believe these to be false. And there's no chance in hell a corn x herald or herald x BHS will work. The only thing you might end up with is one snake eating the other. So rather stick to the "normal" breeding.

Oh k was just wondering because i saw a mixture between a corn and king and stuff like that so was just wondering if its possible. I have searched the hybrids on this site but the mixtures are common snakes from america etc. I do like the pythons though.
