Yes albino boas can thermoregulate in captivity when provided the proper environment. The question is at what point is adequate heating for a normal not adequate for an albino. The white car example is perfect, with the same amount of radiant heat, the black car is significantly warmer then the white one.



I fully believe with proper care (heat) an albino can produce just as well as a normal.
