I'd be happy to Tracy, A number of years ago Chris Gillam in England imported a pair of albinos delivered from a wild caught female in Colombia. They looked identical to the Kahl line of albinos (i.e. T-ive, but given the debates here recently I will go no further into this). He bred the male to a het albino Kahl strain and produced a litter comprising of albinos and hets, thus proving the line to be compatible with Pete's line. I was fortunate to secure one male as part of a trade for some of my Anerythristic sonoran boas. I raised him for several years and bred him to a large female het albino Kahl strain and a normal this year. I am waiting for the female het albino to drop her babies any day now. As a result, these will be 75% Kahl, 25% new line, and therefore important new blood for this form of albinism in Boa constrictors. As a result I can imagine there will be considerable demand for this line to strengthen bloodlines here in the US.
