all boa constrictors (imperator, constrictor, occidentalis, amarali, etc..) are PHYSICALLY compatible meaning you can breed any boa from the BC family to any other boa from the boa constrictor family and you can produce live, healthy babies.



However, it SEEMS like what you're saying is that you have 2 boas, one that is either a Kahl albino or het for albino, and one Sharp albino or het for Sharp albino. If that is the case, the two lines are NOT genetically compatible on the "albino level" meaning when you breed a Kahl line albino to a Sharp line albino, you will not produce any albino animals. You will produce "normal" appearing animals that are het for both types of albino.



One caveat, the original Sharp animal was bred to a Kahl het to check for compatibility of the genes and the babies were NOT destroyed. They were sold off as 100% hets for Sharp albino. Meaning, MANY of the Sharp albinos (and hets) in existence today could be het for Kahl albino. The only way to know whether your Sharp is or isn't het for Kahl albino is to breed to a known Kahl albino or het... and further muddy the waters



Clear as mud?
