Question

BPfanatic Apr 03, 2010 02:40 PM

I read somewhere that breeding an albino to albino can cause the hatchlings to have problems...
I just wanted to get your guys'/gals' opinion on it.
Is it safer to just breed albino to het. albino?

I've never heard of issues with breeding albino balls to each other.

Now boas are a different story. They tend to have problems with albino to albino breedings. I think thats what gets alot of people confused.

It was probably with earlier albinos due to all the inbreeding to get more visuals. Now that the gene has been crossed out with tons of normals and morphs, I'm sure they are fine.

I have bred Albino to Albino numerous times with no problems.
