but again, you get what you pay for. I'm not sure what you spent on the sunglow(I would have spent a few grand for an animal like that) in your post but I can tell you this, if you were selling it on the classifieds, you would have people trying to tell you that sunglows are being sold for $400.00 or $500.00 THEREFORE you should sell that amazing animal to them at that price. Which is probably the main reason this thread was started in my opinion. As a few people mentioned in this thread, you can breed two average looking sunglows(or any boa for that matter) together and come out with a real killer. Very true, but wouldn't you agree that your odds of ROUTINELY producing "generally higher quality animals" is enhanced if you start with adults from a higher quality line? That is herp fundementals in my book. I forget who said it in this thread but it was basically that only a few sunglows from the Lipstick line are worthy of the tag Lipstick Sunglow and the rest should probably be called Lipstick Line Sunglows. I would have to agree with that statement because only a handful of my babies were what I would call Lipsticks. I guess I'm guilty of carrying the Lipstick Tag on my animals I have for sale when I should be really calling them Lipstick Line Sunglows but I still say, when matched up against other sunglows and albinos, more often then not, they are way better. And that is what drives me. Take care. Mike Panichi
