This problem is from the fact that when we think of "common" or "brown" house snakes there are actually TWO species that look quite similar to each other and most of the herp world is under the impression that they are indeed one in the same. Then when you try to interbreed these animals they are more then willing to go through with the act but you get slugs (infertile eggs). On some occasions you may get a few good eggs and the offspring will be hybrids between the two and mostly infertile.
