Somewhat odd to me that you would chase this post down in multiple forums to tout the superiority of sharp sunglows. Investment bias isnt a driving factor there or anything, is it Ruben?

To avoid having to type out my response at every forum: here is my response to Ruben via one of the other forums, for the folks here at kingsnake:

"Thanks all!

Actually Ruben, I would imagine those sharp sunglows actually have the benefit of more refined bloodlines than that of this kahl sunglow. Like I said earlier, the hypo het male that produced this female was not great at all... and the albino female was just decent. Sharps are higher dollar and in more demand... people will be breeding them to, on average, more refined animals than the lower dollar kahl strain.

I've seen some of the sharps in person, while not Ron's, doug's I believe they were. Those sharps, which were from pastel bloodlines if I recall, were real nice. Better than my girl here from most standpoints. But not that much better... AND this girl is from just mediocre bloodlines. Not much of a comparison. On an even playing feild, I see both strains being very comparable, with maybe a slight nod to the sharps. No where near to the degree you allude to however, IMO. You dont happen to have any "sharp bias", do you? . From what Ive seen, sharps often have a burnt orange coloration in their saddles and tail. I personally would much rather see bright red tails and saddles, in addition to coral coloration. Although, I dont always want that coral...I think clean and contrasty sunglows are amazing as well. It's certainly subjective as to which slight phenotype variations between the strains people will prefer."

I wasnt really looking to get into a widespread debate about Kahl versus Sharp with my original post here... but ok.
