het for albino visible?

Nightfall Sep 17, 2008 03:01 PM

I have some photos of my two Boas. Both of them were mothered by a sunset cross who was 100% her for albinism.

Sunsets already have a different eye but I only now discovered that sometimes het for albinism can be identified via the pupil.
Anyone care to try and tell me what they think? I know it's not a sure thing...

The female (Solaris)

The male (Spiritus)

Thanks in advance peeps!

The male looks like it could have a good chance of proving. You really have to compare them with all of their litter mates. Then you can come to some better conclusions.
Sunset Boas already have such an unusually brownish orange eye. I'm certain this can affect the marker or its ability to be seen.
