How do you get a yellow snow? From start to finish and how many years would it take?

I have a Normal who is pretty yellow but I have other morphs that could get me there faster but she is the only one that is surely yellow.

Available Snakes to get me to a yellow snow (would buy other snakes if necessary):
0.1 Normal (Yellow)
0.1 Het 66% Anery/Albino
1.0 Anery
1.1 Albino
0.1 Snow (Std. Cream)
2.1 Rufescens

Never heard of one.

Refer to the sand boa page, or talk to VPI or a few others on the forum. My memory might be faulty, but they are a subspecies of what we call "kenyans". I think one is the east african and the other labled the west african, or maybe it was the egyptian? Most of the albino kenyans you see were actually "hybridized" out of them. Only the paradox version of the albino is a "true" "kenyan" trait.

Been a LONG time since I looked into that, so my facts could be off some.

It was Egyptian compared to Kenyan sand boa. I'm not really sure where everyone stands on the sub-species standing, so I won't get into that. The initial albinos were being called "Egyptian" sand boas, but I'm not sure if they were actually from that range, or if it based on the coloration of a shipment it was in. (Many "Egyptian" sand boas were simply KSBs that were yellow, meaning a single litter could be a mix of Egyptian and Kenyans.)
There have been several WC albinos that have been brought in over time, and I cannot speak for how much of the general albino population any of the imports are responsible for.
East African sand boas are Kenyan sand boas.
West African sand boas are Saharan sand boas (Eryx muelleri)

Thanks for the clarification. Lack of sleep Kids 2 Jobs = Loss of brain power.

Ha. That would do it. Plenty of sleep, working 10 hours a week, and still having 2 days before classes start back up means plenty of brain power (at least compared to normal?).

I am not familiar with a yellow snow either?

I have a yellow on yellow albino het anery, but he doesn't throw weird snows... or at least he has not yet.... I have gotten an interesting looking albino out of him though...

Here is the yellow on yellow albino-

A yellow snow is just a snow that is more yellowish than most snows. I know that SGR has produced some very nice yellow snows. This is something that is line bred, and it isn't from a different simple mutation.
You'd have to produce snows, being the mix of albino and anery. Then you will either be line breeding for several generations or get lucky about the coloration.
