Yours are probably Poss Het Stripe. Commonly reffered to as Stripeline het albinos. The Stripe BLOODLINE typically produces much more colorfull albinos. The Stripe Gene is Recessive.

The father of your pair of 100% hets is an albino that came from a female het. stripe/albino and a male striped albino. This means that the male albino that produced your hets is 100% het. for stripe as well. Since he was bred to a normal female, all of the babies are 100% het. albino and 50% het. stripe. The genetic striping is a recessive trait. Here is a male sibling to your pair that I kept back. He had the most striping of all of the babies produced. Some breeders think that hets show some striping as well.

I hope your boas are doing well for you and that they are eating you out of house and home. My holdbacks from that litter are growing like weeds and should be BIG as adults. Take care.

Yeah my babies are doing fine and staying a real nice light color.
You kinda answered one of my questions that I wanted to ask.I was wondering from the pics of the parents HOW BIG SHOULD I EXPECT MY BOA'S TO GET?I like big boa's.From the pics the parents look small.However I was relieved to hear you say that they should grow up to be normal/good sized adults.
