But,it's all kind of irrelavent to me on a personal level...I don't think the "snow" that everyone's looking for will be produced by any of those combinations,(just my opinion of course,not trying to cause a "flap".)...personally,I've never liked the idea of inventing names for known,simple trait combinations,like sunglow,snow,ghost,blizzard,etc...especially prior to seeing the effect of the combination. I've always thought it best to just use a "slash",ie;albino/anery.,albino/salmon,etc,etc...currently the ghost isn't very "ghostly",the snow isn't really very "snowy",but such is the nature of the marketing game I suppose?...I think the true white boa will either be leucistic,or come from the "black boa"/albino combination,(depending on how the black boa developes as it ages??? it'll definately come much closer than anything currently being tried.)I also think any "problems" that you refered to are strictly human/mental,and tied directly to the two dimentional way in which many people try to justify what they do? nature does not isolate its experimental candidates in "sweater boxes",WE do...
