Nothing respectable about selling B grade animals

First and second generation albinos have no reason to be this messed up. Proper breeding techniques will have new genetic material brought in regularly.
As for the single animal, I would not sell it, but give it to an aquantence or yourself as a pet only. If the quality of life is going to suffer to much than euthanasia is best.
As for the whole family line, I would discontinue it or at the least, bring in some happy and healthy normal boas and breed for hets, then so on.

Of course this is a money game and as long as there is a demand for white boas, no matter what the quality of animal, then there is no incentive to do things responsibly. Unless you are a hobbyist like the many of us, and doing it for fun.
