As been said before, if the snakes were thermoregulating with ONLY a LIGHT source, there would be a difference... BUT when using belly heat, heating up has NOTHING to do with color.. Albino boas have the same DENSITY as a normal boa and would transfer the heat the same... Are you saying 2 plastic blocks, 1 black, 1 white, when placed inside your cage on the heat source with no lights are going to hold different temperatures?? If you were to add a light over each block, YES, the black one would get hotter..
