    Roman, take it easy, there's no need to get nasty.

    SnakeDoctor the hybrids you typically see like a blood ball are still in the same genus, so although a Blood and a Ball look quite different physically, they're not very distant in a genetic sense. Hognose (assuming you mean western here) and corns, though both native to the US, are not only in separate genera, they're in separate sub-families as well (Xenodontinae for western hog and Colubrinae for corn). Colubrids are sort of a catch-all classification for snakes that don't fit elsewhere, so there's a lot of stuff in there that's relatively unrelated.

    If they actually bred (and one didn't kill the other during an attempt) I wouldn't expect to see any viable eggs let alone healthy babies since they're pretty genetically distant. Taxonomically it would be similar to trying to hybridize a human (subfamily homininae) and an oragutan (subfamily Pongo), all in the family hominidae, but still probably not going to work out (ethical implications aside).
