There can be males produced from a process that is known as automatic parthenogenesis(AP), and is explained very well in the link below.

I believe that parthenogenesis happens in boas a LOT more than most may think. I also believe that AP could produce a genetically homozygous offspring of a specific trait like jungle and/or albino from a heterozygous female.

Statistically it seem much more likely to me than the odds of one albino from 4 litters..... although, the odds sometimes fall that way.

Great thread!
