I don't own both at this time. I only have the Kahl strain albinos but I definitely plan on getting and working with some Sharp strain Albinos in the future!
Thanks,
Celia

I like the Kahl Strain of albinos. There are more people working with them and have crossed them to the other morphs. I have seen Kahl strains that are just as or even more colorful then the Sharp. I have also been told that the Sharp strain are poor breeders.

He is a breeder Sharp strain, and to tell everyone the truth, I think that due to selective breeding I would take one of the NICE Kahls out there any day over him!

that's all about marketing ! Sharps came after, so to sell them they had to be better, so it has been decided that they keep colors while the Sharps lost it ?! One thing is real the sharp are more burnt orange second the first Kahl loose all their colors when getting older.
The main point is that breeders did not understood at start how to give colors to their albinos, we now know !! So ? Do you like burnt orange or not ? Not me , I prefer Kahl one and I think I will get better results in my color project with them !

I have acouple kahl strains that i'm happy with. I also have some het sharp strains. I like the sharp strain. I think when breeders put the work and time in the sharps like they did the kahl strain that the Sharp Strain will show its true sharpness. Marshall

Personally I would pick the kahl strain over the sharp because the coral phase kahl strains! Im a huge fan of them, I like sharps to for their richer brunt cream colors that most show and the crisp contrast markings. Look at true stripe phase kahl strain albinos they show rich colors as well as the sharps. it's hard to pin point what I don't like about each one because they are both beautiful specimens. Let me know if you have heard about any coral sharps being produced I would love to see that!!! happy herping
