The flash washed the color of these premies out, but you get the idea. 2 of the premies are albinos and the other is striped het albino. These 3 premies and 20 slugs were layed 3 weeks premature from breeding a male albino het stripe to a stripe poss. het albino female. Man, I was really hoping for some striped albinos! The good thing is the striped female is fine and has fed aggressively and is already close to pre-breeding weight and she did prove out to be het albino. There's always the next litter this year and next year I'll try again with this girl!
This is my 4th year in a row trying to produce albinos. Three years ago I bred albino to albino and the female died during gestation from some weird ovarian infection or blockage with 15 developing albinos in her. Two years ago I bred the same albino male to what was supposed to be a 100% het albino female and she dropped 15 normal 100% hets and 15 slugs and NO albinos! Last year I bred a 100% het male to a poss het female who dropped 22 all normal 50% poss het babies. I also bred a albino to a het female who slugged out and a Dh snow male to 2 albino poss het snow females, neither of which took.
Man, these darn boas will really humble you! Pythons and colubrids are so much easier to breed! Good luck everybody the rest of the year with your upcoming litters.
