for the genes of grandparents to sneak out throughout a litter?
the reason i ask is i bred a kahl albino to a dhsunglow. and all the babies are very different from each other.ie 2 het albinos were born from this pairing and are different as night and day. dont even look like they would be sibs. when i bought the dhsunglow i was told by the breeder that he saw something genetically(sp?) weird in that litter of babies and wasn't sure of what was happening. is it possible for genes to be hidden and then be expressed but not to their full potential? has anyone else had similar findings.

Every Boa liter that has about 15 plus babies are going to give you a good variety of Boas looks -- from light to dark ones , pale to bright ones , clean and speckled, etc . . . Then, when you add in the morph stuff , it only increases the varieties that you're going to have. These varieties are passed on from the past generations of each parent.
