Hey in the future I would like to get into boas. But for now I'm just curious. I was reading my Boa Manual book(GREAT MATERIAL), and was wondering.........

I want to get an Anery and Albino to get snows.......BUT will the different Albino strains produce different Snows? such as more intense? What are the strains? I know brian sharp and pete kahl thats all.

Also if you breed a Hypo to an Anery you get double het for ghost??

Information would be great! Pics of the combos EVEN BETTER:)

No,I don't think the different strains would prove to make different snows. As a snow is just a white snake...no real degree of different shades of white can be produced. Kahl line(common or original line) and the Sharp line is all the lines there are. Tehy canNOT be bred together to make albinos as they are incompatible. Yes,breeding an anery to a hypo makes double het for ghost or hypo het for Anery. ALthough I do believe the hypos are Central american boas and a type 2 anery is also central american so only true ghosts would be from the central american boa line. Sorry no pics but I do believe ralph davis's site has some.
