Can copperheads breed with rattlesnakes?

Weather channel just reported they found a snake inside the engine compartment in flooded area....and they were told it was a cooperhead/rattlesnake mix-breed, which are not venomous.
Been living down here in LA a long time, and never heard of that.....any reptile experts available for comment?

Sounds like an old coonass messing with a yankee.

Was hoping someone would post about this. First of all, the snake was a diamond backed water snake, so everything after that was completely made up.

Obviously when two venomous snakes breed it cancels out, dumbass.

We crossbreed rattlers with copperheads all the time. They throw some pretty snakelets. Not as pretty as the creek bottom cottonmouths we catch in the Spring and breed with our hybrid mambas but they do make some handsome serpents.

They better be glad it wasn't a rat snake and king snake interbreed. The Rat King is extremely rare but also extremely venomous. They have neurotoxins that are 30^10 times more potent than the coral snake. Only been documented 7 times in the last 90 years.

Copper clappers? If you see one you better clobber him.

Can they do it with Moccasins too?

I heard they were doing this to fight the pythons in the Florida Everglades, apparently the rattler/copperhead combo is a super snake.

Your silly post caused me to do some silly internet searches and now I know that "Colubrid hybrid" is a thing, there are several crosses of yellow and king, and a Chestnut King which is an Emory Rat and a Desert King.
So frick you and frick off, aight?

Also, it is, apparently, possible for copperhead and cottonmouths to breed, as they are so similar. There are documented cases, although I'm not sure if it has been documented in the wild or only in captivity.
