What do you define as an albino boa constrictor? I call the Kahl strain and the Sharp strain albinos. They are claimed to be independent mutant genes. But you could, if you want, throw in salmon, orange tail, and a slew of "T-positive albinos".
I'd like to know who has a T-negative albino.

I think there are only the two. T- or T+ At least that's what I can gather from what I've read. T+ has the ability to produce Tyrosenese (spelling) and T- dont.
A Z.........there are only the two strains that I know of. Kahl, and Sharpe. They have come up with all these different "designer" albinos, ie snow, sunglow,etc. which are everywhere on the market, but those two remain the original strains of albinism.
Here is my girl from Kahl. F4 from the original. She is now 6 1/2 yrs.
And they have come down in price. I paid 3K for her in 99 Or maybe your seeing Sharpes line. His seem to have a platinum lining or something.
