looks good to me ... but im not big on the theory of being able to tell a het for a recessive gene by appearance. good luck wit em

there are certain things I would look for in a poss het Albino, or in an Albino poss het Anery if I were to get either. Just through some observations. I do NOT believe you can tell a het this way, but you need to have some factor that will help you decide.
When I bought my 66% het Leo female I picked her because she had solid color eyes (picked out from a picture). Leopards have solid colored eyes, so I figured why not.

Here is an old picture of her:

Lookin good Andy, This is the poss. DH Snow I picked up. I noticed the eyes on your and mine look very simular. Good luck, worst case you end up with just anery's or just albinos or just normals...LOL
Not the best pic, but here is my Poss.DH Snow Female, and my Poss. Het Snow Anery Male.

Does anyone else have any pics of DH snow boas they can post? I would love to compare the pics...
Thanks again, Andy

Of Course I call her Possible DH, cause I havn't proven her out yet. She is super high contrast, and just a beautiful boa, one of my favorites.

I have been doing some research on poss. het albinos but not with aneries.However I am not satisfied completely with my findings so far.At least not enough to put what I think in here ,but when I can prove it you can bet I will share that research with anyone who wants to hear it.From now on though I will be hand picking my poss. hets from now on.Thanks!John
