Albino boas can absorb heat just the same as a boa with melanin. There is no difference. These are captive animals, not animals running around in the wild trying to sun themsleves. Boas in captivity that have proper caging, normally include undertank heat, such as heat tape. Saying albinos cant thermoregulate correctly in captive situations because the lack of melanin is simply uneducated.
