Alright, I'll tackle this one. We need to work through some things in order to help you understand what you have.

Your signature line says 1.0 BCC Salmon 50% het albino. That translates into a MALE Boa constrictor constrictor Salmon that is possible het for albino. The first problem there, assuming that you just made a mistake in putting 1.0 instead of 0.1 which would indicate a female, is that there are no salmon Boa constrictor constrictors.

Salmon is a strain of hypomelanism found in Boa constrictor imperator.

Another flag that goes up is that the breeder told you he/she bred a Sunglow female to a high pink normal male. A Sunglow female, or even a Double het sunglow female would be very valuable as a breeding animal. I can barely conceptualize a situation in which a breeder would choose to breed her to a normal male. The only one that even approaches logic is that she was bred to a Bcc male, which would make her an intergrade (mix of two subspecies of Boa constrictor), and might explain why you describe her as Bcc.

Who did you buy her from, or at least how much did you pay. A price range may help us with the likelihood of her het status.
