    Well you can certinaly try, but i doubt you'd have any luck. One of the two would probably start being teratorially and you'd have to seperate them.
    Good luck though

    A hybrid of a corn snake & a ball python is impossible. They should not even be housed together.

    Ball Pythons & Corn Snakes come from VERY different continents and have different requirements for happy care. Both have evolved to handle certain parasites and other problems, and both have evolved to harbour things in their system that keep them safe. These things that keep their bodies protected can be fatal to other species.

    How about giving up on trying to create the latest cross and only breed same species animals. Or since it seems you know so little, how about breeding nothing at all.

    Milks & Kings are different.. and even those shouldn't be housed together permanently with even snakes of their own species, let alone a corn.

    Kingsnakes are notorious for being cannibalistic, and a lot of their natural diet in the wild is other snakes (everything from corns to rattlesnakes).

    Milks I was never keen on anyway..

    But BoaMan's right, don't bother trying to breed hybrids... There's too many people out there doing it already, and most people don't agree with the idea of creating hybrids from different species anyway.

    And BoaMan's right again, you don't have a lot of experience. You should have a lot of experience caring for reptiles, and the species you wish you breed. Many people breed before they have the experience and knowledge of what to do, and end up with either dead animals, or huge credit card bills to pay for food, housing, advertising them for sale - and still not always managing to sell the animals.

    Breeding reptiles is not something that's going to make you a lot of money (if any at all).

    Are you just asking if it is gentically possible to breed these snakes? Just out of curiosity and not out of any desire to actual attempt?

    I was not telling what to do or not to do, but 99% of the time, when people ask these kinds of questions, they usually are planning to attempt breeding.

    You go ahead and do whatever you like. You're the one who has to deal with the consequences :)

    corns and kings can mate together, but remember that certain kings eat other snakes. i have an axminster corn which is a corn/king hybrid she is a gorgeous snake but a little tempremental at times. good luck
