Chris, you bring up some good points, but here is the facts.



A Snow, or blizzard is just a NAME. The Snake is just a Combination of an Albino and Anerythrisic in RECESSIVE form together. None of these Alleles or chromozones could cance out the other. IT is IMPOSSIBLE!!!! Here is an example that will help explain this.



Lets say I don't even work with this project anymore, but I take ALL the Anerythristics I have produced, and found 1 female Anerythric that 66 percent Het Albino and PROVE her to be a Het by breeding her to a het or Albino. She THEN will be an Anerythricic that is HET albino. Lets ALSO say I do the same to a Male.



So, out of ALL these Anerythristics, I now have 2 that are FOR sure HEt for Albino by proving them out like I mentioned them above.



SOOO, now I breed those two together. Since BOTH are Anerythristic, ALL the Babies will be Anerythristic. Since They are ALSO het for Albino, 1 in 4 of these Anerythristics WILL be Albinos. That will be the SNOW/Blizzard or Anerythristic Albino in the RECESSIVE Form. THIS IS A FACT!!!!!!!!!!



So, it Can and WILL happen downt he road. You could do the EXACT same thing with the Sharp Strain, and the Same thing will HAPPEN. You will get Snow/Blizzards. It is still a 1/16 chance.



Me being Unlucky on not getting the 1 of 16 has NOTHING to do that there is Kahl or Sharp Albinos, or Type 2 Anerys, and Columbian Anerys. We KNOW for a fact, both the Kahl and Sharp Albinos are Recessive, and we Know the Type 2 And Columbian Anerythristics are also recessive. Therefore, when FORCED to show up with Better ODDS, it will HAVE TO HAPPEN.



Again, the SNOW Blizzard is JUST a name we attach to the Double Simple recessive ALbino/Anerythritic.



It is IMPOSSIBLE for those two not to match up once the numbers are better then 1 of 16.



I spoke to a Burm Breeder earlier. It took him 240 babies of breeding DH albino Lab burms to DH lab Burms to get the actual LAB ALBINO. I hope my odds aren't that unlucky.



So, there is NO way one Albino or Anery can cancel the other out. No matter if it is alleles or Chromozomes. IT WILL happen sooner or later.



The Pewter Boa is a PERFECT example of NO way Anery gene cancels out a certain Trait. The Pewter isn't a "PEWTER". All it is, is a Blood, Anerythritic showing up in the recessive form. Pewter is the NAME we give that 1/16 snake.



Hope this helps. Take Care, Jeremy





By the way, GREAT POSTS. You really know your Genetics well for being 16. That will serve you well in the snake Business.
