right as far as im aware(maybe wrong) the sharp strain is the redtail version and the kahl is the common boa version.so if i was to get a stunning male sharp albino and mate it to my stunning female redtail  will my babies be stunning redtails?

No, both are separate, non compatible forms of Albino Colombian Boa (Bci). There is currently some debate as to the Sharp strain Albinos in fact being a form of T+ and not T- Albino. This is due to the Paradigm Boa genetics.
Anyway, there are currently no known living Albino pure "red tail" Boas (Bcc). There was a pure Albino Suriname Bcc in the USA but it died. There may be others out there (If you know of any please let me know).
So to answer the original question, if you breed your Sharp Albino to a Bcc, you will get Bcc hets for Sharp Albino. Breeding those back to either a Sharp Albino or to each other should give you some nice Bcc Sharp Albinos.
cheers, John

Doesn't SHARP relate to the surname of the guy who developed this form of strain of BCI and KAHL as per SHARP?

They won't come out Bcc, they will be Bcc x Bci and they will all be het for Albino. There is no question that they will be stunning animals but it would be wrong to pass them of as pure Bcc het Albino.

Sharp Strain = Brian Sharp
Kahl Strain = Peter Kahl

They aren't BCC. They're BCI. The reason that the SHARP isn't compatible with the KAHL is because the gene type differ. I learnt today that SHARP are generally sharper (ironically) in appearance than the Kahl strain.

I'm sure you are aware mark and wasn't suggesting otherwise, but some may not be. I learnt it today, so naturally would like to share with others who may not.
