to have a Corn Snake breeder in the Boa world. Here is his quoted text in response to a post I made earlier.

.. for that reason. It seems that the naming process is quick and simple.

Chris, I wanted to address one thing that is not really all that pertinent to this situation but the Hypo x Amelanistic animal is not actually a "Sunglow." For many years, a lot of people were confused about this. A Hypo Amel corn appears almost identical to an Amel because a Hypo Corn can still have the same pattern as a Normal but it is occupied by a charcoal gray-lavender color instead of black. When the animal becomes an Amelanistic, this area is an off white color so it still appears to be a standard Amel, maybe a little bit brighter and cleaner.

A Sunglow is a selectively bred Amel, which was bred generation after generation thus reducing the area of the pattern that was occupied by white. I have Amels that come out as spitting images of Sunglows and Sunglows that would NEVER pass as such.

Like I said... not a big deal but I don't want you, Chris, or anyone reading this thread not having all the facts.

Take care...
