normals comes with genes like Amelanistic boas.
If someone sold a boa as normal, was actually a possible het KAHL Albino and ended up being a het, this would pose a huge problem.
Say the buyer bred it to a normal (remember this possible het IS a het, and was sold as normal) and sold the babies as normal. However, these babies would be 50% possible het albino.
Now someone buys a baby, what they think is a normal. It happens to be a het as well. BUT, they used it for a Sharp Albino breeding.
Now the breeder has a litter of what they HONESTLY think is het Sharp Albino, but is actually Het Sharp and 50% possible het Kahl.
There is now half a litter of DH Sharp Kahl Albinos.
UNWANTED in EVERY WAY. Someone buys babies from this litter, and breeds them. They get Albinos. BUT, the pair they bred was a pair of DH Sharp Kahl, and some of their Albino babies are actually double homozygous, some are NOT SHARP but are Kahl.
This is a HUGE problem, because now someone else will buy Albinos for Sharp projects, but they are actually Kahl strain. WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
