So your saying an albino x anery (both with the appearance of the trait) will make snow.Originally Posted by Aeries
I dont think that works, they're both recessive traits...

"The Snow Boa is a result of the combination of two recessive traits, albinism and anerythrism, to create a new lineage of boa constrictor known as the snow boa. The first snow boa was produced during the 1996 breeding season by Pete Kahl. Pete started this project five years ago by breeding an albino male to an anerythristic female. Anerythristic boas do not produce red pigment in the skin, a condition similar to albinism in which no black pigment is produced. The offspring from this litter are normal in appearance, but are heterozygous gene carriers for two recessive traits, albinism and anerythrism. These offspring are commonly referred to as double hets or double heterozygous for snow. When these double hets are bred to each other, the resulting litter of babies will be comprised of four different color phases. On the average, 9/16 of the litter will appear normal, 3/16 will be albino, 3/16 will be anerythristic and 1/16 will be a beautiful snow boa. "
