I have yet to see a snake that looks better in a picture than in person. There are way too many factors that contribute to a true life rendention in a picture. Granted that tail looks a little brown. It is the picture. That tail in person would be very orange. The same reasoning plays with pastels. It is very hard to capture the pinks. Snap some pictures of your animals and see how many show their true colors. It will only be a handful out of a hundred. Underexposure, overexposure, flash, improper lighting, etc... Way too many factors can make an amazing animal look plain ugly. How many sharp albinos or sunglows have you seen in person? When you have seen dozens of each in person, then you can make a decision with some meat to it. It may be the same opinion you allrerady have, but sometimes pictures can be very misleading.
