I have 1.1 salmon and 0.1 normal (she is very clean for a normal and has a pink tint, but I don't know her parents so I don't know if she is pastel) early 07 Colombian Boas. I am going to breed them hopefully in the 09-10 season if they are big enough. I have been looking at other morphs and saw a red albino, and I'm wondering what you can get from one of them.

So I have a few questions:
What can you get breeding an albino to another morph?
What do you get from albino x hypo? I'm thinking hypos and 66% albino hets, but I dunno.
If you breed albino x normal you get hets right? If so, what %?
Is there a good site for finding answers like this that I haven't found?

I think that's about it. I'll ask more if I think of them.

Ok, I know you can't breed 2 animals with the same Mother AND Father, but what if just the Father is the same? Is that okay to do?

You can breed siblings. Every time you see F2, those were produced by siblings, F3 are 2 generations of inbreeding. Etc. up to I think F5 is the furthest anyone has gone.

Any time you breed two unrelated animals the resulting offspring revert to F1 even if each was F5 in its respective bloodline.

The main issue is that you need to watch for deformed offspring. That was and still is an issue with many Albino boas, missing eyes, or other eye related issues. You can breed Albino X Albino even, but the bloodlines need to be distant.

Keep in mind that with any mutation, it is not necessarily just Pattern and/or Color that is affected. Any morph may have a number of other traits in its phenotype. This may be small heart size, short lifespan, big eyes, early maturity, large size, basically anything you can think of that is caused by genetics can be affected when a mutation is present. Some morphs do have different head shapes for example, that is a noticeable effect of the morph.

if you breed an albino to another boa ,weather it a morph or not all will be 100% het albino ( assuming the other boa dont carry the albino gene ,then you get visuals )

if you breed an albino to a salmon hypo ( assuming its not a super or dominant hypo )all be 100% het albino ,half will just look normal ( or wild type ) the other half will be salmon hypos het albino ( or dh sunglows )

if you use a visual albino as one of the parents all offspring will be 100% het albino
