My 4-year old albino doesn't show interest in breeding

I am wondering if it normal for some male boas not to breed? He's about 6-foot long. I have two 5-year old hypos that I want to breed with him but he is just not interested, been trying this since he was 18-month old. I bought him from the founder himself and there's no doubt he's a male. Any ideas?

This might be a silly question but are you absolutely sure it is a male? Sometimes animals are missexed by the breeder or mistakenly sold as the wrong sex by subsequent resellers. When is the last time you had this animal sexed? Maybe you have three females instead of 1.2.

Thats not a silly question, thats very true. My best friend bought a male het for albino, and he was amazed when his other males tried to mate with the boa. After several months, my friend got 8 albinos and 12 66%. In my case the spurs are very prominent, slim, when you try to put him with females, the females go kookoo going away and secreting white stuff from their cloacas, even tho the male doesn't do anything. Thanks...

I have heard accounts of albinos being poor/slow/hesitant/unwilling breeders...Can't speak first hand, but I have heard of it.
