Kenyan Sand boa genetic question
I'm about to purchase two Kenyan Sand Boas from this guy I know, and I do not know anything about their genetics lol
It's a male and female Anery pair. He said they both came from normal dh snow female X normal dh snow male pairings.
So, first...Are Anerys what's suppose to come from that? Is "snow" a different morph all together that produces Anerys? Is there any recessive genes I could use for decent breeding projects in the future?
Other than that, DAMN I've wanted a pair of these for awhile and just never had the time or space, and now I do. I'm so excited and I'll post pics upon receiving them!!
Thanks guys!

Oh really? That's awesome! So if I bred the two Anery's, theres a decent chance i'll get an albino, huh? I did not know that, and you just made my day. Of course, I guess that's only if they are both het, though, right?
I know they aren't quite what they used to be, as far as desirability in the pet trade, but I have always been (and still am) a huge Albino fan.

Ohhh, see...still have a lot to learn, Thanks!
