I agree, its partially genetics.. and probably more about overfeeding and breeding too young. In my opinion, and in most husbandry books I've read, females reach sexual maturity at 5-6 years, and pushing the size of a boa is not the equivelent of having an older boa. Age over size, the best bet is waiting those 5-6 years to make sure your animals and its offspring will be the healthiest possible. And of course its also good pratice to use the best genetics you can in the production of albinos- use hets, crossbreeding, and do not use animals with defects in its family line (ie one eye, blindness, etc.).
