    Re: Understanding breeding norms

    Do they? Boas and pythons are not closely related at all; I didn't think it was even possible to cross-breed them, as they are genetically too dissimilar.
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    its been recently thought that it could be possible after two different species of sand boa (one live bearing and one egg laying) managed to breed and give birth to live offspring. This was a complete mistake and was never intended. The theory hasn't been tested yet. I know that some species have a completely different genetic code though, so its still doubtful in my mind as to if its possible. They have crossed different species of Python though, such as blood and royal Pythons if that's what you are referring to?
