I have very little understanding as far as genetics goes...

I am a high school senior first off, so the miniscule section on genetics in biology 2 years ago definately didn't make me an expert! :P

But, as far as color morphs in boas go...there are basically 3 genes:

Albino
Anery
Hypo

In turn, these genes, when combined give us:

Snow - (Albino Anery)
Ghost - (Hypo Anery)
Moonglow- (hypo anery albino)
Sunglow- (hypo albino)

My question is, Do i have the basic understanding down...or am i completely off target?

Just something i was pondering this morning
