Coral is not a simple inheritable. If you breed two snakes with coral lineage, I feel it improves your chances, but so far as I know, nobody has isolated this as inheritable on its own.
So when you breed your albino with your hypo, you will get hypos het for albino and normals het for albino. Breed two of those together and you will get normals, 66% possible het for albino, hypos 66% possible het for albino, albinos, and sunglows. Of the albinos and sunglows some may be coral, some may not.
Incidentally, with the popularity of albinos at an all time high, prices are falling like giant Wile-E-Coyote boulders. Why would you want to breed two siblings when it is so cheap to buy an albino? Especially in the 6-8 year timeframe that you are talking about.
If you breed an albino to a hypo het, 50% of your litter will be either albino or sunglow. All normal looking and hypo siblings will be 100% het.

thats what i thought i was just double checking. i have 3 normal gravid females now so hopefully if it works out when i sell the babies i plan to buy a motley or a jungle and throw that in to the mix and make some jungle sunglows or motley sunglows at some point. i have some big plans for breeding boas. I have to order some boaphile cages and racks in the next few months
