mixed species breeding?

[sammy_sparkles]

ok, so there are 6 species of blue tongued skinks, that fall under the tiliqua genus.

pygmy, centralian, blotched, western, common/eastern and shingleback.

i was just wondering can these species all breed with eachother and produce offspring?

and if they can, does it cause their offspring to be like a 'mule' of the skink world, because obviously some of these species lacalities overlap?

i know this can happen with carpet pythons so was just curious to know if anyone knows about genetics and the like in regard to skinks.

I bought the Adrian's Reptile World dvds and on one of the episodes they show a Blue Tongue that had been crossed with a Shingleback. It was jet black, (can't remember if the scales were more like a Shingleback or a Blue Tongue) had a stumpy head but a long tail, I thought it looked pretty cool, kind of dragon-like. There are probably photos or a video floating around.
