Osiris, could you provide a source for this info? I've never heard of a boa and python reproducing. The reason that horse and donkeys can mate and produce young, albeit, infertile young, is that they are in the same genus, which is 1 step above species. Boas and pythons aren't related until you get to suborder, serpentes, which is 3 or 4 steps above species. Not to mention the fact that boa are live-bearers and pythons lay eggs.
you mis-read my statement or I didn't state it clearly enough....I did NOT mean pythons AND boas mating with each other....I meant the hybrids we see of separate boa combinations and hybrids of separate python combinations
