together or not?

Hello I have an albino 06 female het snow boa and will breed her one day. I am looking to buy A male het snow albino for her as soon as find one.
I was wondering if I buy an 06 or 07 if i can house them together of if they should be seperated. I hope to purchase he mate any day. Also are sharp strain albino's compatible with regular? If so what do you get for babys? TY the enclosure would be 2'x4'x1'.

Plan to keep the babys seperate. one may eat the other and thatd be a terrible loss. Khal and Sharp albinos are not compatable. meaning...crossing the two would result in normal looking offspring. 2'x4'x1' will be good for the adult size but might be alittle big for a baby. might want to divide it in half for now...make the little gal feel safe.... just some suggestions. Good luck

All good advise from previose poster. If snows are your ultimate goal you might also consider an anery het albino male. This would result in everything in the litter being at leas 100% double het. for snow.

an anery het snow would be a much better choice.

Punnet outcomes:

Albino het snow x anery het snow
1/4 snow
1/4 albino het snow
1/4 anery het snow
1/4 DH snow

All babies are visually discernable and no "possible" hets. For both albino and anery traits, the baby either shows the trait or is het for the trait.

Albino het snow x DH snow

1/8 snow
1/8 anery het albino
3/8 albino 66% het anery
3/8 het albino 66% het anery

With this pairing only 1/4 of the entire litter would be known genetics, the other 3/4 would all be possible het anery.
