I deffinately agree that testing would help with the whole understanding of boa genetics.

It does make sense to me that the information for an enzyme would be on the same gene. The way I am looking at it is that there are multiple amino acids required to make an enzyme and if one strain caused a disruption in one amino acid required and the other strain caused a disruption in another amino acid then they would not be compatable together. Additionally they would not need to have an alternative appearance when crossed because they were disrupting different amino acids from the same chromosome.

Again like you said these are just theories and we can make as many as we want but without any testing there will be no evidence to support either. I wonder how difficult it would be to get this testing done ... well it would be difficult for me as I do not own any type of albino.

Glad to have people on the boards concerned with untangling the genetics of these amazing animals.
