I don't believe its as passable (passed on genetically) of a trait as many people believe it is.
I think it is a more common problem among some Albino Boas but not
necessarily passed on genetically the way people might think
There was a breeding of a no eyed Albino to a 1 eyed Albino that
produced 23 babies here is the story
Albino Eye Dubay Albino

>>>All that being said, in about 2003 Joel DuBay bred a female Albino that was born with both eyes bad, to an Albino male with one bad eye. That's right. Just one eye between them. She produced a litter of 23 babies with only two bad eyes in the lot. This is the exact same result that may very well occur using two perfect Albinos. I think that proves that the bad eye thing in Albinos, though something that does occur, and is certainly genetic due to it's relationship to the Albino lines, is not a genetic characteristic that works like Albinism or any desirable "mutation" that we are familiar with. In other words, an Albino with a bad eye seems to be no more likely to produce an Albino with a bad eye than an Albino with two good eyes
