Species of snakes that can breed with Corns?

I was just interested. I know they can breed with king snakes and they are reffered to as "jungle corns" but are king snakes the only species of snake that can breen with corns?
 
Yeah, seems like corns will cross into any North American ratsnakes, milksnakes, kingsnakes, pinesnakes and gophersnakes. I dunno if bullsnakes are part of the above, or if anyone has done that cross. I'm sure someone has at least attempted it, hehe.

It would be interesting if they'd cross on Asian ratsnakes. I've always wanted to see Corn X Mandarin offspring.
 
Signs tht yor male is ready to breed:

1. His heart is beating.

2. See number 1.

:D
 
Actually, I believe that Corns and Kings will not naturally breed together. When they produce Jungle Corns, they put a male and female corn snake together to get the animals ready to breed. Then they do a quick switch with the king snake just when they are ready to mate. I have never tried this myself, but apparently if you just put the corn and king together they will not breed by themselves.
 
it sometimes depends on the snakes. I had a amel bloodred corn female and an amel cali kingsnake male that bred fine (of course that male was such an easy breeder that he would even go after other males!). I just put them both through brumation like I normally would with corns, and seperated them afterwards like I always do. I didn't have any problems, and she had 12 out of 17 hatch and 100% of the hatchlings feed and shed. However, I put her into a different program and decided to buy an amel female cali king and breed her with one of my amel male corns. I did the exact same thing with this pair as with the last, but as soon as I put them into a bigger breeding tank together, she struck at him and would not let go. I still don't understand why she turned on him, because she was very well fed and had produced 2 clutches before by her previous owner (who was a good friend of mine, so I've known the snake for a few years), and never showed any aggressiveness to me, but since kingsnakes do eat other snakes, I haven't tried it again since. Its really sad cuz I had some awesome hatchlings out of that clutch. Unfortunately, thinking I wouldn't need him any more, I sold the male king I had used with the first clutch. Wish I'd have known then. <--- thats actually the female that produced the 1st clutch in my avatar

So what you're saying Mark is that this technique is the reptile equivalent of the "wingman" concept??
