does anyone have a picture of one of these? I keep reading about them, I'm somewhat familiar with the genetics, just haven't seen one yet.

as far as I know it would be made with a type 2 anery, which is the difference. Correct me if I am wrong please.

I know that a "blizzard" would be a type 2 anery and albino in one, but if one hasn't been produced yet, why call it a blizzard? There is a name out there for a snake that doesn't exist? for all anyone knows, it'll come out looking exactly like a snow boa, right or wrong? If that's the case, why not wait until someone actually produces it before giving it a name to seperate it from a snow, when you could very well produce.....just another snow.

the Blizzard Corn Snake was. The corn snake version was made with a different strain of Anerythrism than the Snow was.

So when the Blizzard project was started in boas it was given the name to seperate it from the Snows because it was Type II Anerythristic. Even if it does look the exact same as a Snow, I want to know if it is Type II or not. So it is easier to use a common name like Blizzard to describe it.

The Blizzard is a double homozygous Type II Anery Kahl Albino.

The only ones produced have been stillborn.
