First off I have not bred even my first sunglow or snow (yet) so I am NOT an expert by any means.

My understanding of the genetics are in my feeble laymans terms:

Albino = absence of black pigment
Anerythristic = absence of red pigment
Hypo = Reduces the visual affect of the blck pigment and increases the affect of the red (maybe also increases the yellow?). From what I've read, nobody seams to know how this is working exactly, only speculation.

so:

Ghost is Hypo/Anery or no red pigment and reduction or muting of the black. fits

Snow is albino/anery or no red pigment and no black pigment or white (yellow) fits

Sunglow is Hypo/Albino or no black pigment and an increase in the affect of the red and maybe yellow. Fits

Snowglow would be Hypo/albino/anery or no black pigment, no red pigment and maybe an increse in the affect of yellow? Obviously only a guess.


I'm thinking the snowglow has two possible outcomes:

1) basically indestinguishable from a snow
2) very similar to snow except more of a glossy look?
