    It is hard to tell with the flash, but I would say possibly a pastel BCI. Maybe even a hypo but I would need to see a picture of the tail.

    I'm going to go with pastel. Too much black to be a hypo. Where is this snake from?

    Looks like a BCI x BCC intergrade. I don't really follow the market so can't much help on price.

    Interesting. I thought the same. Tail has the typical BCC spackling.

    With regards to being het albino it definitely could be. Some of the hets I have produced over the years look super light like this one, and weirdly enough had some BCC looking features as well.

    Price will depend on the snake's sex - a proven breeder female is worth more than a male - and which strain of albino, though since it's on CL I'd bet that it's a male het kahl.

    If I were in the market for a pretty pet I'd go up to $125 for it, assuming it's healthy, mite-free, it doesn't act like a jerk, etc.

    Can you elborate what "heated" mean? I was originally looking for a albino boa really liked the color and eye color but someone sent me a pic of that

    Do you mean het? That's short for heterozygous. Basically this boa retains one allele for albinism. Essentially this boa when paired with another het or an albino is capable of producing albino offspring.
