The missing eye "syndrome" is a theory, not proven

The missing eye "syndrome" has yet to be proven to be connected to poor genes of the albino boa. It is more likely due to the high level of inbreeding that has occured and pushed out the less desirable traits. All of the albino to albino litters I have seen have all been viable healthy 2 eyed litters. So do not worry about the albino trait causing this. I do however suggest getting animals that are from diverse blood lines when possible, and avoid purchasing dh snow litter mates.
