Albino het coral male mated to
1. DH Ghost
1/2 salmon (AKA hypo)
1/2 normal looking
All babies would also be heterozygous albino and 50% probability heterozygous anerythristic.

2. Pastel
If this is one of the line bred pastels rather than a salmon, then all you'd get would be heterozygous albino snakes that might look a little lighter than most normal boas. In my opinion, this mating is the least likely to give you something good.

3. DH Snow
1/2 albino
1/2 normal looking
All babies would be 50% probability heterozygous anerythristic. All the normal looking babies would also be heterozygous albino.

4. Salmon
1/2 Salmon
1/2 normal looking
All babies would also be heterozygous albino. Salmon heterozygous albinos are what are called DH sunglows.

As far as I know, the coral effect in some albinos is an effect that is selected for rather being than a Mendelian mutant gene. It would be sheer luck if any of the albino babies turned out to be coral albinos.

Hope this helps.
