First off, I do not want to debate this, nor do I want to get pulled in to a lengthly forum discussion, but ...

I am not convinced that the Kahl and Sharp strains are incompatible. My only basis for making this statement is that I am aware of only 1 isolated breeding (I believe a Het to an Albino; I forget which strain was which). I talked briefly with Brian Sharp at one of the past expos, and he was not aware of other "test breedings" at that time. ONE single "test breeding" is hardly sufficient to prove what has been accepted as common knowledge.

Just my opinion and position until someone can conclusively provide other examples.

I really think a SECOND "test breeding" of an Albino x Albino that produces a litter of all Normal-appearing (DHs?) might enable me to put this to rest in my own mind.

I have not talked specifically with Pete on the subject, so he may have additional info to share. I will be meeting with him at Tinley Park (Chicago), so I will try to learn more from him at this time.

I certainly hope that this does not start anything other than further validation of the incompatibility between the 2 strains.

Now I have gone from speaking "very softly" to publicly displaying my curiosity to the boa world.

Be Gentle ... Bill
