I think what VFR meant by "white on the tail" is acutally the white/fleshy/translucsent part where the black would have been on a normal boa. On albinos, the "border" seems to be there from the first tail saddle to the last tail saddle. In sunglows, that "border" does not seem to start from the first tail saddle, rather it starts from around the middle of the tail...basically where the black was on a salmon's tail. Of course there are exceptions as well as borderline animals. Another way (a big salmon breeder told me) is to look at the side diamonds...most of the time (but not all), on sunglows the diamonds/medalians are solid whereas the albinos have white in the center of the diamonds.

But my experience is very limited (1 sunglow litter only), but luckily for my litter the albino and sunglow differences were night and day.
