    While the first albinos originated in and trace back to colombian boa breeding stock it is vastly unlikely that anyone has maintained locality specific breeding lines of albino boas, with the exception of T+ Argentines. At this point in the hobby albinos are pretty much entirely crosses between central american, colombian, etc. Also the "T" in "T+ Albino" stands for tyrosinase which is an enzyme that regulates the amount of melanin produced but does not entirely eliminate melanin as a "T-" or true albino does.
    Hope this demystifies some terms used in this thread.
    this was most helpful yes and also what you described it what i am trying to do tbh (at least with my Colombians, i don’t think i’ll be ever to unwrap the mystery origins of my Burms) - as far as i know, my Kahl line albino male and Normal/Wild type female are of 100% Colombian origin, or, at least, this is what i was sold but at any rate, that’s my goal - it’s not enough that they’re the specific type of albino that i want they must also be 100% Colombian
