Default Breeding albino boas

I am planning to breed a 1.1 of kahl strain albino boas next year but do not know if this is possible as i was told by my local pet shop they this is not possible as the offspring would be mutated is this correct? If so what is the best way to get the most off the offspring pure albinos?

breeding a pair of visual albinos together will give you a whole litter of albinos , but often in breedings like that you will get alot of deformaties , especially eye related , like having one eye or none , its thought to be down to the albino gene being week , you might do it and have no problems at all , but its not something im prepared to risk doing even though i have albinos of both sexes , i plan on breeding het to albino to make sure i dont have that problem , in breeding like that you should average half a litter of albinos and half a litter of 100% hets , that the most albinos you can get in a litter withought breeding albino to albino
