Default Whats the difference. ?

I was wondering what's the difference between kahl and sharp strain in albino boas? and what would happen if you breed them together (not directly because i know what happens). Its just been bugging me for ages.
Any info would be great

They're two entirely different genes that work in entirely different ways, just like Bell and Tremper albino are different genes in leopard geckos.

If you breed a visual Kahl albino to a visual Sharp albino, you get 100% normal-looking offspring who are het Kahl and Sharp.

It wouldn't, because they're different strains - it's when you match two visuals of the strain that does have KNOWN problems with their eyes, because you run the risk of matching up the negative genes too.

basically, kahl and sharp have a defferant gene coding for albinism.

sharp albino's are generally known for their superior ability to hold their colour into adulthood, hence they often have a higher price.

I could be wrong but i think they are inconpatable with each other.

you have to decide which of these guys you want to make richer... both rip the UK off by charging as much as possible to people that don't have access to the real market like here.....both are laughing all of the way to the bank.... they aren't so competive here, just ask them.... they produce top shelf stuff but are in it for the money......

i guess that you can tell where i am...so if you are listening.... you are taking profits off of people....
