although i dont know how much credit my opinion warrents ...

im not so clear on your post, but from what i understand your friend has a possible het t positive albino BCI and BCO and wants to breed them.
i feel that it will be an advancement in the understanding of the genetics of the boa constrictor. through a breeding like this it could determined if the t positive mutation in the BCI is the same mutation as in the BCO.
the offspring may not sell due to being a cross, but albino BCIxBCC and albino BCCxBCI crosses seem to be gaining popularity.
i cant really say if it is a good idea or not, but i can say that there is some benifit of the cross even if the offspring are not popular.

>>I have a friend that has a Poss. T BCI and a Poss. T BCO. He was thinking about breeding them. Is this a smart breeding to try? Any info about Personal feelings about this would be great.
>>Thanks a lot
