Corn Cross clutch size

hey there!

After searching around the web for even more pictures of corns, I found that picture on Kathy's website of the "50% Corns".

Assuming a few things held constant (using average clutch sizes, not the first time breeding, etc) I was wondering if the clutch sizes with these crosses are significantly lower, higher, or around the same. Has anyone really dabbled in this area? I know every female will drop a different number, but I want to know if the simple fact that it's a crossed clutch will affect the size one way or the other.

This whole area interests me even though I know some are very against crossing species like that. Some of the animals produced are AWESOME LOOKING! Not to mention, I had no idea Corns and Milks were compatible enough to produce offspring.

Let me know what you think or if anyone's out there with some neat pictures of crosses.
 
Gregg,
Thanks for the plug, lol.

FlyinHerper,
You can also check out the thread I started in the breeding/egg production & care section, here.

:)
 
Very interesting! Thanks for your help Gregg. I guess the possibilities in this area are highly variable and endless. What do you think Dwight, were the crosses easier or harder to produce when compared to corn breedings? Is there anything you did differently? Great looking pictures!

FlyinHerper,
The cross was much harder to produce when compared to corn breedings. With corn X corn, you simply place them together. When you try a hybrid cross it takes a bit more knowledge of the snakes and their cycles (especially when a king is involved) Snakes don't naturally interbreed in most cases, this is what keeps them separate in the wild. It takes a bit of manipulation and a certain degree of sneakiness to pull off a hybrid cross. Oh yeah, let's not forget TONS of patience and lots of luck! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Thanks again. Very interesting but I'm not planning embarking on that journey for SOME TIME. Still, some of the pattern and color variations are great looking.
