That helps me to know the relationship between the T enzyme and melenin. Question----
>>>>>> "It is really not known exactly how Tyrosinase does its job, nor have we confirmed, in many cases, that what we are calling "T-positive" animals, actually are producing Tyrosinase. This sort of testing is very expensive"

Has this test ever been done at all? This may be expensive testing, but so are these Boas. And don't get me wrong, I think they are among the best looking proven morphs out their. But I haven't heard of any solid evidence that they are indeed a solid form of Almenism. They sure don't look like they are to me. I'm talking primarily about the Columbian type, and not the CA's or Argies. I personally would've liked to have seen them given a character name such the Halequins and Arabeque's were given, and not linked to Albinism based on a good guess. If their were tests given, then I digress.
Again, I think these are wonderful Boas that deserve the recognition that they've gotten. I'm just too thick-headed to link it to Albino status. This is just based on the pics that I've seen, for I can not afford to own one.
Have a good weekend everyone. Congrats on the new litters this week. They are exciting to see. David
