Can Jungles reproduce?

I know very little about hybrids and there doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot of info out there about them. I'm wondering if jungles are able to reproduce and if so could you potentially introduce a third set of genes creating for example a Corn X King X pituophis? I know someone's going to ask why anyone would want to sin against nature in this way but it's more or less a hypothetical question.

Country:
Yes Jungle Corn/kings can reproduce. They can also be bred to various other species successfully as well. Not all hybrids can successfully reproduce, but most Colubrids seem to cross breed/reproduce fairly successfully. All my Jungle corns so far have been from Jungle X Jungle breedings which is your proof for hybrids reproducing successfully. Mark

I know there've been crosses involving more than one species but not more than one genus. Don't see whyit wouldn't be possible though. Not that I'd recommend it.

That's cool, I've been considering breeding jungles next season maybe. It seems there is no limit to the number of possible colubrid morphs and hybrids.
