This is when I started crossing the Albino to many color and pattern variations of boa constrictors including Anerythristic, Arabesque, Hypomelanistic, Jungle, Striped, and of course Colombian. If big guys like Steve, Ernie, and John didn’t get babies then how did I (truth be known it was good luck like most breeding efforts)? At this point in my breeding career I had never even bred a pair of boas until the Albinos.Īfter another successful breeding of the two Albinos in 1991 Paul and I parted ways. I was a new comer in the business and many feared I was pulling a scam. Brian Sharp was one of the only people who believed that they were really heterozygous for Albino. Paul and I kept the other babies for breeding in the future. I sold 10.6 of the babies to my good friend Brian Sharp. Two females produced a total of thirty-two heterozygous babies in June of 1990. I bred the two males to several normal females in 1990 in the basement of my townhouse. After trying to breed these beautiful boas for several years with no success John Ruiz sold one of the males to me in 1989.Ībout six weeks later Paul Miles and I purchase another male from John. John Ruiz bought the four boas and took on partners Steve Osborne and Ernie Wagner. In the mid eighties California Zoological imported 3.1 sibling Albino boas that were born in Columbia South America from a wild caught normal Columbian boa constrictor. We purchased the first original male Albino boa in early 1989 from John Ruiz, Steve Osborne, and Ernie Wagner. Peter Kahl Reptiles was the first to produce Albino boas in captivity in 1992.
