First time poster here. Very familiar with ball pythons, just now getting into sand boas. We purchased one today from an expo and I am a bit confused on how he was labeled. He was labeled as Albino het Snow which confuses me because based on what I read, Snow is Albino and Anery.
Can those familiar with sand boas help me understand what het snow would mean?

Welcome to the community! If your boa is indeed a visual Albino, “Het Snow” in this instance would just mean he’s het for Anery. Bit of an odd way to label it, but some folks do it that way in all species.

Also very common in hognoses as well. A lot of people will label albino het axanthic as het snow, and axanthic het albino also.
