Both of those pairings will produce normal looking offspring that are heterozygous for albino. To produce albinos, you need a heterzygous animals and an albino animal, or two albino animals. Which one is which sex doesn't matter.

Albanism is a recessive gene in boas thus as previously stated you need to breed two animals carrying the gene from albanism in order to produce albinos.

best,

Just wanted to point out one misprint, and I think it's probably an oversight. You don't need a het and an albino, you can produce albinos with a pair of het albinos(two normal appearing animal carrying the albino trait). Just wanted to point that out for the original thread starters benefit. Take care.
