It's usually temperature heat spikes during incubation from a faulty T-stat error.

What you are referring to is ablino x albino boa breedings NOT ball python. There have never been any issues with ball pythons like there USED to be with the Boas. To my understanding it is not so much an issue with boas anymore do to the extensive outcrossing. I am sure it is still common in some collections, but any responsible breeder has taken the proper precautions to not inbreed so heavily.

^^^ This. It used to be quite common in Boas, especially the sharp line but it's been known to happen in both lines. There are no problems with Albino ball pythons.
