I have had male lutosis try to breed a male cerberus, but did that mean that the breeding could produce a hybrid? I doubt it - just because a male snake is horny doesn't necessarily mean that any copulation would result in babies. I'm not saying hybrids don't exist in the wild or in captivity, but what I am saying is that there has to be a measure of compatability both ecologically and genetically for any to be produced at all. I also don't think we could go about saying what could or couldn't be produced without a better understanding of the animals themselves - before we get there, it's all just hand-waving and speculation.
