Although your enthusiasm is great to see, you will have a whole lot of learning to do first. How do the different genes work? What do they do? Albinism? Anerythrism? Axanthism? Erythristic? Melanistic?

A snow boa is bred to be all white, though it yellows with age. It's a combo of albinism and anerythrism. A sunglow is a different combo and bred for color. A Snow Sunglow would sorta be cancelling each other out.

Here is a list someone was nice enough to put together, that lists the morphs in boas and lets you know what is what. It does require some basic knowledge of genetics though.

Boa Morphs

Good luck in your research.
