What do I have here? Need opinions..

lokii May 18, 2010 11:39 PM

So I am looking at doing a possible trade for this guy. The guy selling/trading the boa is saying that it is a 2009 coral albino..here are a few pics that were sent. Being relatively new to boas, I am not 100 percent sure on how to tell the difference between an albino and a coral albino. So what do you all think? Coral or just a reg albino? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

In my opinion , its a regular Albino . Lots of people sell there Albinos that come from coral lineage as corals , even if they don't exhibit the trait .

below are a couple of siblings , and one obviously shows coraling while his brother does not.

Just looks alot like any other IMO it is nice looking
not saying its not but nothing extreme. I have bought albino in past as coral guy swore that he would color up well like most albinos as he got older he faded out even more very disappointed
so if they dont show any color as baby after some sheds i wouldnt call it coral. This is just MO
