"Why would this be a genetic nightmare"

Let me tell you why. If you cross these making double hets and someone breeds them your gonna get Sharp and Kahl albinos. You can't always tell the difference of the two so, if you have a customer wanting a Sharp and they grow it up and breed it to a DH Sharp and get no whites in the litter,Not only are they gonna be very unhappy with you and the outcome now they have a whole litter of animals that are possibly het for both that they're now gonna sell to someone that is gonna breed them and then its gonna happen all over again and sooner or later these double hets will find their way back to eachother in another breeding making both Strains of albino and the person who thought they had all Sharps is selling Kahls to someone thats gonna breed that animal to their Sharp animal and not get any whites and so on and so on and so on. This is why this breeding has been left alone by everyone in the boa world the respects the two strains for what they are, Differant and incompatible.
