    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have heard that it is not a good idea to breed an albino boa to another albino, but does that work the same way with a sunglow to an albino? As far as deformities and problems go, would that pairing be as high risk as an albino x albino pairing? I wasn't sure if the hypo gene in there would help or not...

We have always tried to outcross as much as possible, even if it results in less desirable litters. We have never bred an albino to another albino, instead breeding it with a het or a normal for healthier, stronger babies. In this case, we have a nice large female albino that we are planning to put a Hypo Het Albino Het Type II Anery with. We also have a very nice sunglow that will not be too busy this year and were maybe thinking about reconsidering pairings. I don't want the babies to come out severely deformed and genetically compromised because of it. I just want to know what others experiences are with this.

Any input?

Thank you,

I don't know if that breeding would up the chances for defects, but I am not sure that I would pair those two animals for different reasons. I don't know what you would accomplish by producing half a litter of albinos and half a litter of sunglows. At this point with the economy and market the way they are, are you sure you can sell those animals? Just a question to ponder.

yeah I agree you probably won't be able to sell those quite as fast as what you may hope. Unless you sell them extremely discounted. However if you didn't sell them and kept them then you may have a jump on animals when the economy does kick back in.

but I never heard it was a bad thing to breed those two. anyhow which ever way you go good luck.
 
I would say it is about the same as breeding an albino to an albino. If anything the hypo part could lower the chances of defomities though.
