Think of it this way. Every albino or het albino in this country has the same genes for color (either the Sharp imported or Kahl imported). Since nobody has done much with boa DNA sequencing it cannot be said with certainty that all the other genes, good or bad, are attached to the same chromosome(s) and are being passed along with the desireable color genes. But I would bet they are!

Thousands upon thousands of chances for undesireable mutations such as kinks, no eyes and who knows what else. In nature I am sure that siblings reproduce but no where as much as we boa breeders make it possible in captivity.

Just food for thought.
