Looks like a guyana to me. The color's give it away. Haven't seen any Peruvian's with that coloring before could be a Suri. Very nice looking BCC all in all! I have no clue about your first Q? Have a good one and thanks for sharing the pic!

yeah, the color reminds me of the guyanas and suriname, i have a pair of surinames, it's just the pattern style reminds me so much of alot of the peruvians i have seen, would be awesome to have a peruvian with that color but a guyana with that patten is awesome too so eather way i'm happy with it

>hey, i was woundering if you breed a coral sunglow boa to a normal would you get all DH for coral sunglow, DH for normal sunglow, or what the offspring would be?

Offspring:
1/2 salmon, heterozygous albino (AKA DH for sunglow)
1/2 normal-looking, heterozygous albino

As far as I know, there is no way to tell whether coral sunglow could be gotten back a couple of generations down the line. It is most likely to depend on the normal snakes that are chosen for the breeding project.

There is a breeding chart on www.salmonboa.com that might be helpful.
