Quite often, the offspring resulting from a cross between two separate species of animal will be sterile, mules are a good example. However, this is not always the case.

Crossing different species generally results in sterile offspring - nature's way of preventing the cross from becoming its own species so to speak. Eg horse and a donkey creates a mule - which is sterile.

Congo | Quoted for emphasis.
Am glad somebody is still thinking on this site.

Congo | I got to talk to them and find out all the details, I dont think he is still on their permit, they want me to go handle it a bit to get it used to people so it can just sorta be the friendly snake that lives around their house, nothing I can do if its not, and if it is on their permit, they want to leave it there, either way its not up to me and cant do anything.
btw, have lost the the software on my computer to get the footage off my video camera, will just have to wait until i go and handle before i get some pics up of him sorry guys.
