>>I have been told that it is not possible to successfully breed Kahl and Sharp boas together. But, I have a Khal Albino and a Sharp salmon that produced some beautiful and healthy babies. Has it been done before and just not talked about, or did I get the wrong info about their incompatibility?

The genes are just not compatible genetically, but all boa constrictors are compatible physically! Ha ha ha I see what you thought. lol They can copulate, he can fertilize, and she can ovulate gestate and deliver baby boas, they just can't make albinos with each other. They can make double hets with each other. If you throw the salmon gene in you can call half of them triple hets (het salmon het Sharp het Kahl ).

What you did was just make normal looking babies and salmon looking babies, right? That's all that's possible from your pairing! What you made are triple hets for Kahl sunglow and Sharp sunglow in the same individuals, and double hets for Sharp and Kahl albinos (provided by "Sharp salmon" you mean Sharp sunglow). What you absolutely must now do, is disclose this to everyone who buys a baby.
