I am looking for some help...I have heard here and there that breeding kahl albinos to kahl albinos is not a good idea. I have kept snakes for over 8 years but I am new to boa genetics.
I was considering purchasing a group of kahl strain albinos, one male 2 female. I decided on all albinos because I wanted to avoid creating wild type appearance boas. Frankly, there are far too many wild type boas being sold in my community at dirt cheap prices to stupid, irresponsible people and I don't want to contribute to this.

I just want to hear from anyone what the risks/drawbacks are regarding albino x albino breedings.

I understand the risk of deformities if closely related animals are bred together, but my albinos would be unrelated boas of different ages, from different breeders, of hetxhet parents.

One more question, (again please understand I am very new to boa morphs) is there a type of boa morph, that as a 100% het for albino, bred to a kahl albino, that would create 100% het albino offspring having an appearance that would make them valuable enough as juveniles that I would have a good chance of finding them decent homes? Perhaps in the $300-$400 range?

Thanks!
