It's been proven genetic. The environmental angle was thrown out there when the first ones showed up and people tried to market them as being squished by the mother, having had surgery, improper incubation.....

The bottom line is, some of the first couple of generations of albino boas are prone to one eyed babies.

You can breed it out, sort of, by bringing in non albino blood and producing hets and possible hets then breeding them to get "healthy" albinos which you can then breed to other hets and possible hets.

The thing is, when albinos first came out, each snake was worth thousands of dollars. That's a lot of temptation that some could not pass up.

Since they couldn't pass up said temptation, that gene is more prevalent than had they culled.
