You would get a mix, some, maybe all of these depending on how independent assortment takes place: Sunglows, Arabesque Sunglows, Arabesque Albinos, Hypo Arabesques 66% het albino, Normal Arabesques 66% het for albino, Normals 66% het albino, 66% DH Sunglow. Arabesques do have a super, or dominant form. Breeding an arabesque to an arabesque will theoretically create 25% of the litter as super arabesques; similar to when you breed a heterzygous animal to a het. I "know" that the super exists, in fact, killer boas has one and perhaps others people have these as well, but I don't know that it has yet been put to the test and if a whole litter of arabesques was produced from the dominant form. This is the same boat the "black patternless" is in, MotleyXMotley result in the black patternless or dominant motley, however, it has not yet been bred and proven, though it most definetly the super/dominant form. Hope my long post didn't strain your eyes, Trey Schneller, Schneller Reptiles
