No ones had this pairing?? I'm asking in the context of health, being it's not a good idea to breed albino to albino, is it the same effects as breeding to a snow?

There should be no problem with that beeeding. I breed Albino to Albino, Sunglow to Sunglow, Albino to Sunglow, Albino Arabesque to Sunglow with no problems ever.

Yes it's fine, unless they are closely related, the notion that you shouldn't breed albino x albino came from back in the day when albinos first came around and very close inbreeding had to be done due to lack of outcrossed specimens. Albinos are so abundant and outcrossed now it's usually not any issue. What happens with inbreeding is if one snake is carrying a gene for a certain defect is bred it can pass that gene done to its offspring and if you breed those offspring with each other chances are high they might both be carrying that gene giving their offspring a much higher chance of having a defect. In a nutshell
