I don't mean to sound defensive since I was asking for opinions but I wanted to share my reactions.

I do think I have some reliable info as to the basic genetics of the parents since they were bought from respected and trusted individuals so I do know "something" of the genetics of the babies - but you are correct in that I chose to breed a combination of genetic traits that can both show similar aberrancies and that I can't be certain as to what is causing these particular aberrancies - which is again why I was asking the question in the first place and why I labled them as I did.

Also, I'm not sure why you chose to say that this sort of breeding was "not really a good thing to do.." sort of sounds like maybe you believe that other breeders should not have tried to breed different strains of albinos together..? I tend to think that we learn something from experimentation and trying new things - but someone could disagree with that. and I'm not sure we can really expect any one breeder to be responsible for what some other individual will do once we have sold a boa.. do you believe producing hypo-hogs or any other crosses is also "not a really good thing to do" based on the possibility that at some point down the road someone else could lable that boa as something else?
