Is interbreeding possible among snakes?

Like I know that as a matter of fact that interbreeding is possible for two sub-species or two species of same genuses or two closely related species of the same family.

So under these guidelines would it be possible for two snakes of the same family like Elapids for example to interbreed

Just like how we have the Liger that is the interbreeding of Lion and Tigress , is it possible to interbreed something like A King Cobra and a Black Mamba and have the off spring as "King Mamba"

A unique cobra that has a hood, and can move fast and would be larger than the King Cobra.....
It would be interesting,isnt it?
or what about the Spitting cobra and King cobra and have the young one to be "King Spitter"?
it depends on the question that I'm asking....here i want to know if an answer is possible.But in some cases its more like a discussion rather than mere Q & A

There are claims that Australian venomous snakes such as the Taipan are cross breeding with harmless Carpet Pythons to produce deadly hybrids.

There is a common myth concerning pythons interbreeding with venomous snakes. The offspring are said to combine all the most feared aspects of each parent; extremely large size, strong toxins and ability to constrict. Since pythons (family Boidae) are only distantly related to venomous snakes (family Elapidae) their genetic make-up is no more compatible than those of a dog and a sheep.

Under normal circumstances, a union would be considered impossible, and the successful fertilisation and development to produce viable young inconceivable.
