I saw one of PK's het for coral albino boas and under the description it said it was from a pastel x normal albino breeding. If this is true why the different names for the same morph? It just causes more confusion for us small folks. Anyone care to shed some light on this subject?

I've seen many "coral" albinos before and some won't even call them coral, even though they look like a coral, simply because it didn't come from the "original" line of PK's coral albinos. Some people even argued that PK has the only line of true coral albinos and all other are just wannabe corals.

I became the forth owner of this beautiful albino female and thought she could possibily be a coral. She was sold me to as a normal albino 66% het for stripe. I tracked down the original seller and found out from Brian of Chicago Reptile House that she was produced by PK and could have been from his Coral Albino line.

I'll post some pics tomorrow and maybe you guys can tell me what you think.

Sam
