a few questions/discussions

Jbbean1369 Jan 15, 2012 04:09 PM

I know probably some stupid questions but couldn't find answers, first how can u tell a snow apart from a moonglow? Wether side by side or not they look alike to me, do you just have to know by the genetics of the parents? Next, why can't u breed a Sharp albino to a Kahl? Has this ever been fully figured out? I couldn't find a straight answer, and there's no one around here who likes snakes so I'm always on my own. And lastly, anyone have any good ideas for any morphs that aren't out yet, or are still relatively new? I know I'm gunman try with motley moonglow, then maybe super motley moonglow. Any cool combos anyone trying or can think up? Maybe a snow blood boa? They got albino bloods, y not continue the experiment? Or maybe just post some pics of your fav boa.

How to tell a snow from a moonglow. The difference, genetically speaking, is the presence of the hypo gene. So, you should look for the "tell-tale" signs of a hypo.

Sharp to Kahl has been done, and it proved that the two are NOT compatible with one another. Yes, they are both albino boas, but they're genetically different. It's a HUGE mess and is ABSOLUTELY NOT worth the trouble to pursue a project like that because although they do not look exactly the same when taken as a whole, there are some that can pass for the other and how would you know which you had or even if a particular animal expressed BOTH forms of albinism?

As for ideas, there's always new stuff out there. Keep an eye out on the various boa forums and check YouTube as well.
