Thanks for the response. I pretty much understand the genetics of it, my concern (again) was largely with not misidentifying future offspring. I have seen a few albinos that were pinkish white, with very intense red (salmonish, in pattern) markings - I would not have hesitated to call them sunglows...but apparently, I would have been wrong. They were, in fact listed as sunglow siblings. I would have loved to have seen the sunglows from that litter, if these were ONLY albinos, lol. In any event, I will probably not be looking for any more stock for myself - I have albino females, and a poss super, poss het albino female; as well as 2 hypo (one poss super), het albino males. I just don't like looking at snakes and wondering if my perception of them is incorrect or if the seller is trying to rip people off (even if unintentionally through his own ignorance). While I would be disappointed to learn I had mistakenly sold a sunglow as an albino, my error would not adversely affect my customer. If I did the reverse, though, and called an albino a sunglow (and sold it as such), I will have effectively ripped that person off. Therein lies the whole purpose of this thread...seeking identification tips.
