I was curious is it true that the fine line albino is compatable with both sharp and khals lines? Would an albino male fine line produce albinos with a sharp or khal het? I know Khals and sharps won't. Any info would be appreciated/
Thanks

As far as I know, the only thing "fine line" refers to is Jeff Ronne's line of boas with "fine lines"....thin saddles. I do not believe it is a seperate line of albinos, rather just a desired pattern appearance bred into albinos(probably Kahl/original strain). That being the case, I would say they're only compatable with the strain they were bred into. Hope that helps you out. Take care!

A 'fine line albino' is actually two seperate traits, 'fine line' and 'albino'. Assuming that the 'fine line' trait is indeed genetic it would be compatible with either kahl or sharp strain albinos. But the 'albino' trait will only show up if you use a kahl strain female (assuming the fine line albino male in question is a kahl strain). Unless of course you want to make fine line het for both strain albino boas. But that's another topic...
