I too have always had that little question mark about this pairing,but will not act on it.
You can do what ever it is you want to do.The point people are trying to make is this.
When nothing special happens as we all know nothing special would come of this Kahl / Sharp pairing (95%-99% assured nothing special will occur).
Be prepared to keep all the babies.
Why do you have to keep all the babies ? Because if you sell them you will
screw up / mess up the entire Kahl / Sharp market.
Uncertainty will exist unscrupulous people will make false claims.

Not to mention the time it will take to prove this out will be many years .
At the end of which nothing special will have happened and many many question mark Boas will have been produced.

Dave Collings has written out the mathematics on this subject to
show just how immense the numbers are.

New comers will be even more confused if DH Kahl/Sharp Boas are everywhere.

Sometimes we have to protect ourselves from ourselves so to speak.
I hope this makes sense to you and helps you understand why this particular subject or pairing is one that just shouldn't occur.
Unless a person wants to keep probably possibly several hundred Boas that have no real use.

They cannot be released into the Boa market even as pets as far as I'm concerned
I'm not one that is in favor of making Boas and then culling
because they are not what you wanted.

Just a few of my thoughts on this subject
