may work. It really depends on how the Super Motley really affects the animal. Does it block out other colors because of high amounts of melanin? If so, the Albino version would release underlying colors.
I have a feeling this is how it will work. Look at the Motley, and the Super. The Super is like a Motley with only saddle color. The Albino Motley has color in its saddles, so the Super would as well under this condition.

For the Albino Super Motley to produce a white boa, the Super Motley would have to have a fault of some sort in xanthin and erythin.

The first Colombian Super Motleys were Purple, they have been very dark recently. C.A. Super Motleys are Black. I think the two are going to have slight differences in the Albino, but I don't think that either will produce a truely white boa.
