.. of a genetic diffrence than a visual diffrence. It is more valuable as a breeder becuase it also carried the hypo trait, but the only visual diffrence is that it has the hypo patterning. So if you're just looking for a "pet" save yourself a few $k and get a normal snow

then how do we know a moonglow from a snow? they look so much alike to me. wouldnt it have to be bred to tell for sure it is a moonglow or not.
I would say this is done basically the same way a hypo is distinguished from a normal. If you look at the tail blotches past the vent you will notice the difference. When comparing a hypo to a normal, in the case of a hypo it is apparent that most if not all of the tail blotches past the vent are not boardered in black. When comparing a snow to a moonglow you are pretty much looking for the same thing. If the tail blotches past the vent all have an outline (would be black but in this case it will be an alternate shade of white) then it is a snow. If you look closely at the pictures posted you will see that many of the tail blotches after the vent have no boarder, thus distinguishing it as a moonglow not a snow.
Hope this explanation helped.

a close up of the tail and body would be great sir, thanks much!
The main difference is the pattern, but there is some color difference, and im sure it will be more evident as it matures.
Hi Mark -
Per your request, I selected some older pics of a couple of my Snow boas (Full body and Tail only).
Actually, as many have already pointed out, the most visible markers are the wider saddles of the Snow, plus the ever-so-slight outline around the tail saddles of the Snow.
The tail is the best marker as there is always variation in the width of saddles between different animals and different litters. The tail variation is best described as a "hue" around the saddle, not necessarily a distinct line. I know this may be difficult to see at first for an untrained eye that has not seen a lot of Snows or Moonglows, but it is actually very easy once you have seen some numbers. A good comparision is the difficulty many of us had in the early days in identifying/distinguishing an Anery, which is now a piece of cake for most anyone.
You can go to the Kingsnake Photo Gallery and view larger images.
Hope this helps ... Bill
Another example of a different Snow boa.

Novice must remember that there is always considerable variation between individual animals and animals from different litters. Don't be too quick to burn a stereotype image of a given morph in you brain.

looking for!
The anery female het snow you sent me is doing awesome by the way, thanks again for her!
Mark
I am so glad you decided to share updated pics of her! She is coming along so well! I love her look and can;t wait to see her as she matures!
IM SO JEALOUS
