I'm sick of these fake breeders around here, not knowing exactly what their snakes are....

I've seen a few different pictures on google and I can't figure it out on my own, ever...since there are so many similarities.

Kahl or Sharp?
What type?
Any visual poss hets?

Experts, GO!

I have my own guess, let me see how close I am to yalls.

Eyeless! Poor guy...live fed! BAD!

Decent headshot, bit too much light

Headshot 2 proper color

Tail

So many things going on with this post - poor snake. Your boa is not missing an eye because he was fed live prey. If the breeder doesn't know what strain it is than you will never know, unless you breed it, which you shouldn't. Good luck......

I feel about 20% stupider after reading this post!

Kind of hard to tell from the pic but id say kahl strain.

You bought that live fed story? Most likely just a defective one eyed snake that was born that way which is common in albino boas.

I have found out that it is a sharp sunglow. Did some research and found the person he came from.

The guy has good reputation, so, the rat eye might be true.

TBA.

I doubt it.

I was gonna guess Kahl Sunglow, but it could be a Sharp, who knows.

The missing eye thing is a known occurrence in some lines of both strains of albino, and it's due to inbreeding depression most likely. Once an animal pops up with a missing eye, it shouldn't be allowed back in the gene pool. This is the only realistic way to get this defect out of the breeding pool.

Yeah I know about the albino eyes. I did research about it.

Pretty sure it was born that way too...especially since I found out it's poss an '04. Not 100% sure though, waiting on an e-mail from the original breeder.

Was bred by Class Reptilia (Ron Michelotti).

Thanks for the help/feedback. :]

To you other "Kingsnake" jerks...you don't know everything. Just saying.

I may not know everything... Just more than you.

Wow, I'm hoping that's not a lesson on how to win friends. Why attack kingsnake users? You came here with the questions, so you bought or somehow ended up with something you didn't know the identity of, then provided horrible pictures for anyone to make a guess based on. You relayed the rat story, people mentioned it was probably from birth, then all of a sudden, you KNOW about albino eyes because you researched it??? Was that done between your first post and the third reply or before you passed along the live rat story? I'm not friends with Ron, but if he was the breeder, and it's an 04, it's current condition shouldn't be reflected on him. Let's know who you got it from! It's not really up to the breeder to feed animals for the customers...that's usually their job, though it looks like someone didn't hold up their end of the deal. Also, your "fake breeders" comment, you had to find out who originally produced it, so you didn't get it from the "breeder". It sounds like this animal has suffered a life of "flippers" and I would have to agree, I'm sick of those people too!!! I breed my own boas, then have people beg and plead for a deal with all sorts of BS reasons. Then, no matter what they pay for it, not too many days down the road you'll see your stuff up for sale on some free classified site trying to be "rehomed". Fake breeders don't really exist, you can either breed them or you can't. Fake buyers are everywhere though!

Well Said PBM.
