Alibno Boa with small eye defomity 
can I still breed her with this defomity? I want to breed her with a hypo male. will it pass on to all the offspring?

If she was born that way, it is unlikely it was damage done when in the mother or immediately afterward. That would mean it could be genetic, but it sounds like a cataracts which is rare to be born with. Still, Albinism is an incredibly weak genetic strand and if her eye deformity is genetic, it is likely she will pass it on. This is commonly seen in Albinos produced from breeding two Albinos together as opposed to one Albino and a Het or two Hets.

so what you’re saying there is a likelihood of some babies coming out with a eye defomity. If I still decide to breed her with a hypo male that defomity may just be a recessive gene and not show up at all or just a limited occurance. have you ever heard of people breeding less desirable snakes such as this one with any success?

It does not matter who you breed her with. An Albino snake IS a recessive animal. If you breed her with any animal she could potentially pass on the deformity. Most breeders would advise that you not breed her at the risk you will have her pass on that trait. Even if it is not presented, the young will still CARRY the gene and could potentially pass it on as well. It is not wise because these animals will end up on the market and would be considered tainted in a way. I would not breed her at the risk her eye problem is a deformity. That is my opinion, but even from a biological stand point is a good idea.

thank you for your help. I have one unrelated question for you. I have a baby hog. He regurgitated almost month ago. I’ve been trying to feed him ever since that time. He is looking real skinny. I want to force feed him, but I’ve been advised not to. I’ve put him in a paper bag, increased the temp, live fuzzies, split head pinkie... do you have any advice? but he is still very active.

You need to wait two weeks or more until you attempt to feed him again. Force feeding can do more harm than good. Constantly offering him food and moving him around is likely stressing him out. Keep him hydrated, leave him alone for a week or two and then try again. If he still refuses or still regurges, he needs to go to a vet. Even now a vet check would not hurt.
