    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.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    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 had two sand boas for about 2 years and they just had their first set of babies, all doing very well. I plan to sell all but one, and start another set of breeders about two years from now. I believe I have just typical sand boas (orange and black), don't know if there is a certain name for them. I would like to know if its possible to breed them with a different type, like albino or striped, and if there could be any issues that stem from this. I'm new to breeding and am trying to do as much research as I can.
 
It sounds like your sand boas are "normals" -- that is, no genetic difference from wild type sand boas (well, from those sand boas that are in the hobby, anyway). Most genetic traits (e.g. albino, striped, etc) are recessive, so to produce visual albino, striped, etc, the offspring need that gene from each of the parents.
