Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the boa forum and don't know a lot about boas. I have been a python breeder for many years.

I have 1.1 albinos 3 years old, another albino female that is about 5 years old and a 3 year old normal female. I'm hoping to get a large light colored normal female from a friend.

The normal I have now and the older of the albinos gave birth this year, I have 25 het albinos and a litter of 16 albinos. All are feeding and doing fine. I'm really pleased with how some of the albinos look. The litter of albinos had about 8 slugs.

Now I have heard that breeding albino to albino can lead to problems, such as the 8 slugs I had. I want to keep some of the albinos and some of the het females. What should I breed to albino females? Would a sunglow male have the same potential for problems as an albino male? I want to expand my boa collection but I'm not sure what to get?

I wanted to get the video from the Boaphile to learn some more, is this a good source for info? Any other places to read up on boa breeding?
I'll try to post some pics of the babies later.
