Hmmmmmmm I've never heard of a W/C albino, not to say there isn't but I highly doubt that these are. Do you expect all the employees to know where all the CB animals in that store came from? The stores not HUGE but theres a lot of stuff in there. I have a pair of these albinos all I know is they are Kahl line and that mine are healthy and great eaters.

well i do think they know who they came from its the way they respond when i ask
they said it was a breeder
they say that i dont know them ? how do they know who i know and who i dont ?
as far as knowing where all there cb animals come from NO i dont but high priced animals yea as asking who they came from is a normal question everyone should ask when buying a high end morph

Unbeleivable.

just because we know there name doesnt mean we know where they live/work.
If someone walked into m store and was interested in a $1500 reptile i would treat them like royalty to make sure that they walk out of the store with it.
I wouldnt be a smartas$ and say "you dont know them" or anything like that. i would try to be as nive as possible.

Or maybe the breeder doesn't deal with the general public and is a straight wholesaler who wants to remain private...

There are plenty breeders that stay out of the eye of the public and stick to wholesaling their stuff to stores or other wholesalers, or having it brokered, simply to avoid all the headaches that come with the territory.

LILCREEP:
I know where your coming from I to asked and got the same answer even when I was about to buy there whole lot and I still got some "way off none straight" answer. I guess its there business but like BIGDAN said if your paying 1500.00 or so for animal and these albinos as you are inquiring about you should know the whole history. There are no excuses, even if the so called breeder is private you they should be able to pass you onto the breeder for contact. But this is all like a smoke screen, true reputable breeders will give all information if they have it. When they say not GenerAsian, think twice.....why would they say that! But I think you do have the right to know all history on an animal if it exists.
Goodluck with your search.
Tony

So that people know they are unrelated to a lot of the other albinos that were produced and some that remained in Ontario...

LILCREEP, The breeder of the albino boas is a private breeder who prefers to wholesale his babies and stay away from the public. I have talked to him cause I got a pair and obtained all the info on the boas I could get. The Parents of the babies came from Pete Kahl and this is the first litter from the parents who are the origial strain which means they are F1 Kahl albinos.
PCPC has to respect the wholesalers privacy and that's probably why they can't give you that info. I personally haven't seen albino W/C boas.
The boas are beautifull and eating like machines.
I hope that the info helps.

Tony, The reason they are listed as "not GenerAsian" is so that people know they aren't the same blood line. There was a few litters of albino boas produced this year and this was a way to tell them apart.
Breeders have the right to stay nameless and pet shops have to respect that.
