Can non poisonous snakes mate with poisonous snakes?

A snake is an elongate reptile of the suborder Serpentes. Like all reptiles, snakes are covered in scales. All snakes are carnivorous and can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids, limbs, external ears, and vestiges of forelimbs. The 2,700+ species of snakes spread across every continent except Antarctica ranging in size from the tiny, 10 cm long thread snake to pythons and anacondas over 17 feet long. In order to accommodate snakes’ narrow bodies, paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side.

Snakes are venomous not poisonous. Snakes in general cannot mate outside their Genus. There are a few exceptions rat snakes and kings snakes have been known to breed and they are of different genus. A venomous Genus CANNOT breed with a NON-venomous Genus. So the answer is NO.
