: If anyone knows if you can sucsessfully breed a Eastern and a
: Western Indigo, please let me know. Also if you have, under what conditions were they bred. Thanx Much. W.B.

Ok, I'll add my opinion to the mix. You can interbreed Drymarchon. I don't know if the offspring would reproduce or not but I would think that they can. I once bought a gravid Cribo that had been with an Indigo. The eggs she laid did hatch. I sold them at a very low price with the following restrictions: I told the buyers that they were hybreds, I only sold one to each person so as to lessen the chances of them ever being bred. As far as I know they are doing fine. I do not cross breed my Drymarchon for a varity of resasons. The offspring are mutts and true they can make good pets, who can gaurentte that they won't eventually get sold as a "purebreed" down the road. I regret selling the ones I had even with the restrictions I put on myself. There are plenty of each species around. One doesn't need to crossbreed any Drymarchon. so let me state my opinion so that no one has any doubt as to where I stand. PLEASE DO NOT CROSSBREED ANY DRYMARCHONS!!!!
